we love to smash ‘em up and love to hear ‘em crash
the pads, the hardwood pins, or bash the leather ball
          the timing of those sporting games
          appropriate, it grabs us all – such violence
          around us without feeling any pain
someone threw a rock and knocked another off a ledge
and soon we all were betting clams on arms and teams
          began to form the rocks and clubs were soon outdated though
          ‘cause also when the snow fell fans got cold
          so owners brought the teams indoors for winter
and as the athletes started bowling, playing basketball in fall
by winter hockey brought the fists a flyin’ lots of blood
          and fun for all and even racetrack frequenters
          are hoping for a smashup will it really go much further
          will we soon be watching murder?
