Verse 1
Every four years, we hope again
Dreamin’ big, but it’s the same old end
Missed passes, lost fights
Another early flight tonight
Pre-Chorus
We got the talent, we got the hype
But somehow it just ain’t right
Chorus
We suck, we know it hurts
Another heartbreak in these stars and stripes
We try, we fight, but fall apart
Still waiting for a brand new start
USA — when will we rise?
Still suckin’ under these bright lights
Verse 2
Golden Generation, we’ve heard before
But we’re still stuck, can’t find the score
Other teams dance, we trip and fall
Soccer gods don’t take our calls
Pre-Chorus
The world laughs while we pretend
One day, maybe we contend
Chorus
We suck, we know it hurts
Another heartbreak in these stars and stripes
We try, we fight, but fall apart
Still waiting for a brand new start
USA — when will we rise?
Still suckin’ under these bright lights
Bridge (spoken)
Hey, at least we got cool jerseys, right?
(But damn… another 0-3 tonight)
Final Chorus
We suck, we know it hurts
But we still chant and sing with pride
One day, one game, we’ll change the chart
‘Til then we’re masters of false starts
USA — we’ll rise someday
Just not today…
Outro
Still waiting…
Still waiting…
