Speedy Ortiz – Sport Death lyrics

We're playing house
What I'm fixing to find out
Is it a house you like?
Ambling families
Intolerable rambling
Tracing their claims on design
(Told ya)

Why'd you ask the question if you won't believe the answer? Why'd you ask the question?
Officer, may I mistake emergent aggression
For undivided protection?

[Chorus]
If you're part of our clan
You'll never watch your back again
Listen in, the new professionals have got a plan
Sure, it smarts
Trusting us thus far
Listen in, the new professionals have got a plan
Listen, I'm your new professional

Guilty of ghosting
Flagrantly floating
Easy to anger
I love you to death
So I'll probably end up dead

Why'd you wear the button if you bet against the team?
Why'd your grind your voice down shouting?
My opponent pawns his purpose
Pugnacious skirting that ends in partisan flirting

[Chorus]
If you're not quick to talk
They'll never let you talk at all
Listen in, the new professionals have got a plan
Sure, it smarts
Trusting us thus far
Listen in, the new professionals have got a plan
Listen, I'm your new professional

Entering the fray every waking day
That's why I don't wake sometimes
Cutting in and out
Circuitry half-gutted
That's why I don't play like the toys you made

Strutting to the new kids walking your walk
And the new professionals have got a plan
Listen, I'm your new professional
