The joy and the pain, it's all in the game 

but right now the joy's far away 

we're gonna take it back to how it was before now 

so what if we're last, so what if we're gone 

we've reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward 



For twelve years I've been down 

but I'm not whining, I'm still smiling 

I'm still around every night 



every Sunday or Wednesday I'll be there 

with all the other folks biting those nails 

and some of us I know that we would die for you 

maybe you think it's just cause I have my smartcard 

but forget that pall, tell you what 

we're in it and we're in it to win it 



so many hours spent in that building 

and all the memories divine 

just a few more seasons, then we'll be back

ready to attack, ready to take on the top again



so what if we're last, so what if we're last again

so what if we're last, we can't stay last forever



for twelve years i've been down, but I'm not 

whining, I'm still smiling, and I'm still around 

every night
