lyrics

the waterboy looks down on him
as he picks up the ball
it's another awful day
it's another awful day
for mike townsend
our prodigal son, our shameful pitcher, mike townsend

and he pitches the ball
in the same way
to the same place
every time, like an asshole

and it's a strong hit to the outfield
and a double for the spies

mike townsend is a disappointment
he's a loser and a total disgrace
mike townsend is a disappointment
mike townsend better end up in flames
yeah

he throws the ball in the air
so that he can catch it and look cool
but he misses catching it on the way down
so he just drops it on the floor
and has to bend down and pick it up again
like nobody just saw him drop it

and then he pitches the ball
in the same way
to the same place
every time, like an asshole

and the batter sees the defeat in his eyes
and there's no strikes, no outs, it's a home run, great job

mike townsend is a disappointment
he's a loser and a total disgrace
mike townsend is a disappointment
mike townsend has the shadows to face
yeah
