Guys I havent heard this song in ages but I thought it was kinda relative to our relationship with this Organization
To the music of ” What About Me” by Moving Pictures
Well there’s a little boy Mets Fan waiting at the counter of the Shake Shack
He’s been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says…
CHORUS:
What about us Mets Fans ? It isn’t fair
I’ve had enough, now I want my share
Can’t you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give ( Wilpons)
Well, there’s a pretty girl girl Mets fan at the counter of the Acela Club
She’s been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,( world series)
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she’s not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams…
What about us Mets Fans ? It isn’t fair
I’ve had enough, now I want my share
Can’t you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give ( Wilpons)
CHORUS
More than you give…
Take a step back and see the us Mets Fans !!
we might be young, but were the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
“What about us?”
And now I’m standing on the corner, all the world’s gone home
Nobody’s changed, nobody’s been saved
And I’m feeling cold and alone
I guess I’m lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I’ve got…
CHORUS
What about us?
What about us?
What about….us?
This is dedicated to all of us rabid die-hard Mets Fans that are tired of the loud silence that comes from ownership – that are happy to charge us five dollar handleing fees on our tickets that are happy to charge us eighteen bucks for parking – that are just pricing all of us “little guys ” out and fielding a slip shod team (yes I know our line up is decimated by injuries but still at least make it seem like you are trying to swing a deal . I as well as most Mets fans will keep living and dying by this team. But ownership has to learn that we are the engine that drives this car and if they keep neglecting us this franchise will be as abandoned as a 75 Ford Pinto !!

I am enjoying your lyrics, but I’m not familiar with the original song so I can’t “sing it” in my head as I read.

I’m way into Roxy. I’ll have to look into acquiring it, thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately when I read your lyrics I automatically start hearing “What About Love” by Heart.

still wondering why we havent promoted michel abreu or mike lamb? abreu is a power hitter and lamb is a proven major leauger btw whats the betting line that Manuel quits the job before next season and lifts the shroud of secrecy on the mets front office? and BRING BACK VAL PASCUCCI !!!!
