Peace is something we used to
take for granted |
|
The Mercedes was good |
|
|
And so was Hamilton’s hair |
We shared a lot.. |
|
|
The car, |
The team |
|
|
The data |
|
And
now it’s turned in to a bloody ‘mare |
|
|
|
Oh, everything was splendid
Hunky dory. |
|
We’d led the pack together, |
A bit of a bore |
|
|
But it all went wrong |
And we had to write this song |
|
About
the day that Lewis & Nico went to war |
| |
Oh
where were you?
Were you there too?
Standing in the trenches by the fences
I was there for sure
The day they went to war.
Has everybody lost their bloody senses? |
|
"I
hear your pappa got you into this" |
|
|
“Ja,
so did your dad” |
How’s
yer father? |
|
Right or wrong
Come on sing this song
Which way are you facing?
Day or night?
Black or white?
This isn’t a war about race
It’s all about racing. |
But motorsport unites us, not
divides us
Two friends often will collide
Are we having-a-laugh, or are we being serious?
Remember the lads-and-lasses-lost on both sides. |
|
Isn’t it grand, we fight
over land |
|
|
Just to prove that one of us
is in control |
We both wear a lid |
|
|
The battlefield’s on the
grid |
We‘re
fighting over the land that we call pole. |
|
(Not Poland!) |
|
Oh
where were you?
Were you there too?
Standing in the trenches by the fences
I was there for sure
The day they went to war.
Has everybody lost their bloody senses? |
|
|
Lewis, Lewis, Lewis Hamilton
(sung to the tune of Deutchland, Uber Alles) |
Nico, Nico Rosberg
(sung to the tune of Land Of Hope & Glory) |
|
|
|
This battle’s not a new
one, it’s an old one
It’s become a bit-of-a-lark a jolly-good-spree
Scraps and scrapes, never escapes
Enger-land and Germ-a-bloody-knee |
But motorsport
unites us, not divides us
Friends will collide.
Are we having-a-laugh, or are we being serious?
Let’s not forget the lads-and-lasses-lost |
|
|
On
both our sides. |
|
Oh
where were you?
Were you there too?
Standing in the trenches by the fences
I was there for sure
The day they went to war
Has everybody lost their bloody senses?
Has everybody lost their bloody senses? |
Amen. |
