A song about the All Blacks.

Lyrics:
I was reading the Test Match line-up.
I'd missed three games in a row,
And found out I only knew half the names of the players.
Still, I was glad they were playing.

I woke up, it was nearly over;
In touch for the final phase:
Guess there are days you never see comin', do ya?
Still, I was glad they were playing.

We talked through the post-match wrap-up,
'The commentator's a joke;
I wonder what bloke made him so famous?'
Then, there's the shit that he's saying...

"Thank God for that Polynesian winger,
And those fabulous Canterbury locks,
Cos the Springboks had better loose forwards!"
Boy, was he glad they were playing.

I flashed back to the days in High School
When we learned Apartheid was bad,
And that my Dad had been too chicken to protest:
Yes, he was glad they were playing.

I wondered why we idolise All Blacks:
Is it simply from cultural cringe?
Or liking to whinge about winning?
Still, seems we're glad they are playing.

Are these the ugly thoughts they leave us,
By taking us to rugby as kids?
Masking bids in wars of oppression?
Alas, I was glad they were playing.
