lyrics

73, 73
that's how many homers you need
if you want to break the record now
but no one can no way no how
Barry Bonds, he took the juice
ballplaying mutants on the loose
while Selig looked the other way
for the good of baseball some might say
McGwire and Sosa captured the
imagination of you and me
with their bogus cheat-ass homerun race
and now the sport is a total disgrace
but all the baseball lovers filled the stands
when Barry took a drug that turned him into Superman

73, 73
Intentionally walk him or he will go deep
Did you notice how his head got fat?
It barely fit into his hat
Of course he lied about it, they all did
including Selig that piece of shit
who won't let Rose into the Hall of Fame
but lets these cheaters ruin the game
Steroids such a fucking blight
Even the government got it right
for once, cause now they're cracking down
Too bad Maris' record went down
and the fans will puke as they remember when
The year McGwire and Sosa were supermen

73, 73
a sight you never thought you'd see
and you shouldn't have, it was all a lie
It was fairy dust that made them fly
and legends sometimes turn to dust
Believers turn their heads in disgust
when the truth comes out, when the truth comes out
sometimes you regret what you were cheerin' about
and you hate the cheaters who ruined things
They steal a piece of you and it stings
that the game you love is a fucking joke
and this they won't fix, nope, it's broke
cause Selig's gonna let that record stand
Most homeruns 73, hit by a superman
