World Cup of Shame Lyrics

Keystone

Been a fan of the sport

Ever since I was a kid

But this didn't feel right

From the day of their bid

Way more than just

A football tourney

The World Cup used to mean

The whole world to me

Imma say this right now

Imma get it out the way

Yes I'm gonna watch it

I can't fucking miss it

The time to unite was

Several years ago

Everything we do now

It is just for show

Performative shit just

Petting our ego

We're all part of the problem

And myself included

If you don't think there's a problem

Then you're just deluded

I wish more players would

Speak up, step up

If one stands against it

Then the others would pick up

But by now it's too late

Sacrificing the game

Cause of greed and financial gain

And we all know who is to blame

FIFA they're just really corrupt

So I had to get on a track

And let my anger erupt

I had to get on a track

And let my anger erupt

Supposed to be

The Beautiful Game

But this one

Doesn't hit the same

They might as well just

Change the name

World Cup of Shame

Supposed to be

The Beautiful Game

But this one

Doesn't hit the same

They might as well just

Change the name

World Cup of Shame

Environmental disaster

Clearly LGBT rights do not matter

Qatar doesn't care about

The former or the latter

The World Cup is supposed

To be a worldwide party

A true celebration of every nation

A joyous occasion where

Football becomes everybody's religion

But nah this one doesn't feel right

Of course things are meant

To go left when

There are no human rights

Workers were stuck in a tunnel

Never seeing the light

Stadiums built on top of dead bodies

Modern slavery and broken families

FIFA gets everything wrong

I wish I didn't have

To make this song

Just wanted to use my art

Supporting a cause

Dear to my heart

Supposed to be

The Beautiful Game

But this one

Doesn't hit the same

They might as well just

Change the name

World Cup of Shame

Supposed to be

The Beautiful Game

But this one

Doesn't hit the same

They might as well just

Change the name

World Cup of Shame

Supposed to be

The Beautiful Game

But this one

Doesn't hit the same

They might as well just

Change the name

World Cup of Shame
