1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Big King Kev and Alan C
Who’s the next one gonna be?
We all know what’s going down
On that manager-go-round

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Once we longed for millionaires
Now we turn to billionaires
Fergie Wenger Scolari?
Rafa could be number three

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Stand up strong and make some noise
They ain’t listenin’ we’re just toys
You can boycott with your feet
Someone else will grab your seat

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Interference from the top
Where’s it ever gonna stop?
We all know what’s goin’ down
On that manager-go-round

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Old school days are dyin’ out
You know what I’m talkin’ ’bout
Makes no diff’rence who’s in line
They’ll be meddling all the time

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Localness is lightweight now
That’s the way it’s gone somehow
Globalness is all they see
Brand it far from you and me

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 golden boots and no grass roots
Salaries like parachutes
Premier League just ain’t the same
We’ll be flying to the game

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 L.A. Moscow and Dubai
They don’t care for you and I
Cover us like walls with paint
Britishness is old and quaint

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Scream and shout outside your ground
No-one’s listening to the sound
We all know what’s going down
On that manager-go-round
