Focus on the Game Songtext
von The Lonely Island

′(Andy Samberg, "Akiva Schaffer", "'Both"′)'
Ah, The Oakland Coliseum
"Its's 1988 and the season′s going well"
I′m at the height of my career
"'So why do I feel sad?"′


(Andy Samberg, "Akiva Schaffer")
These days don't recognize my own face in the mirror
I′m a monster, not the man I wanna be
But focus on the game, José, the game, José
Don't be a fool, don′t throw it all away
"Haven't talked to mom in two weeks" ("Mark, it's your mother")
"Things at home are even more bleak
Focus on the game, Mark, the game, Mark
Focus on the game, Mark, oh-oh"
So don′t look at me ′cause I'm all alone in left field
Thinkin′ bout all the fucked up shit that I did to get here
Did I lose my soul?
When did I lose control?
"But they tell me to focus on the game, Mark
Lord knows I'm trying
And I never leave the shower
So they never see me crying"
You′re just a scared little boy in the body of a giant
A freakshow of science

But then my friend says
"You're the man JC"
You′re the man BigMac
"You're the only one who knows what it truly means to bash"
And if one day they should come for us
And strip us of our crowns
I know that if I am going down
You're also going down

"The ball′s hit pretty well to left field"
Oh-oh, oh-oh
"You can chalk up number twenty-one for Canseco"
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
"He hit it outta here"
Oh-oh, oh-oh
"And the big guy from Florida has just struck again"
Oh-oh
"Man, did he hit that baseball"
