Take Me Out To the Overpriced Ballgame

Take me out to the overpriced ballgame
at the corporate-owned park
We paid for this place with a local tax
They should be wearing our names on their backs

But it's suits suits suits in the good seats
they should all be ashamed
Cuz it's one, two, three thousand bucks
and they're not even watching the game

drag him out on the ball field
with a torn ACL
management says that he’ll be alright
he can’t sit out on his bobblehead night

So it’s shoot shoot shoot him with cortisone
If he won’t heal then we’ll trade
Yeah it’s one, two, three Tommy Johns
And right back into the game

I went broke at the ballgame
Forty bucks just to park
i can’t find peanuts or cracker jack
just calamari or steak and cognac

With their souvenirs and concessions
and the rights to the name
oh it’s milk, bilk every last buck
from the old ball game
