Bannerman Songtext
von John Jonethis

One man′s grinning from behind the net
Waits 'til the camera gets adjusted
Don′t you worry 'bout the flack you'll get
Aren′t you scared of getting busted?
The ball gets booted, hits the crossbeam
Up goes the banner, John 3:16

He don′t worry 'bout the critics, they toe the line
He don′t worry 'bout the cynics, they live to whine
He ain′t gonna change the world, but he knows who can
Banner man

Primetime football in the Buffalo snow
Freezing his little epidermis
Lifts that banner at the first field goal
Drinks clam chowder from a thermos
He's never missed a game, he never spells it wrong
He never talks back when they tell him, "Move along"


He don′t worry 'bout the critics, they'll howl for days
He don′t worry ′bout the cynics, they'll navel-gaze
He ain′t gonna change the world, but he knows who can
Banner man

Sports fans everywhere dying for a drink
But they've gotta find the well first
One man′s ready with a banner and a wink
A whole lot of souls are getting well versed
Every time I see him, I smile a little more
I can't help praying for another high score

He don′t worry 'bout the critics, they'll howl for days
He don′t worry ′bout the cynics, they'll navel-gaze
He ain′t gonna change the world, but he knows who can
He don't worry ′bout the critics, they toe the line
He don't worry ′bout the cynics, they live to whine
He ain't gonna change the world, but he knows who can
Banner man

Banner man knows who can
Banner man
Banner man knows who can
Banner man
Banner man knows who can
