Back in nineteen seventy-nine A new network was the first of its kind It was made for the American man Who could call himself a sports fan Highlights, action from all the leagues All in one place we could access with ease Watch the big games on our 60-inch screen It was nothing like we had seen
We'd spend our evenings with ESPN All weekend long, we'd watch ESPN They had everything a sports fan could enjoy With Chris Berman and all the boys "Back, back, back, back, back, gone!" - ESPN "He could go all the way!" - ESPN After long days at work, we'd turn on the TV For our escape from reality
Now when I tune in for the scores I'm bombarded with opinions galore Games and highlights get pushed out of the way For the social cause of the day Be it gender equality, Racial bias, or police brutality It all seems like they would much rather be Fox News or MSNBC
What happened to the sports, ESPN? Abandoning your roots, ESPN With all your talking heads and your document'ries Tell me, who are you trying to please With this new attitude, ESPN? Oh, why the sudden change, ESPN? Making yourself PC for this millennium Can't you see just what you've become?
Hey man, is my point getting through? There are millions who have had enough, too Making layoffs hoping you can survive But your network leaves us so jived That's why we have stopped watching you Advertisers are losing their revenue Now there's choices, maybe four, five or six When we want to get our sports fix
You're no monopoly, ESPN There's better options than ESPN We won't sit through your crap when we easily can Stream the games we want on demand That's how it works these days, ESPN Consumers in control, ESPN ESPN, are you listening to me? ESPN, bring back sports on TV
ESPN Remember demographics, ESPN ESPN, here's what we want to see ESPN, bring back sports on TV
