Ted Fucking Williams Lyrics - Volume 1: Frozen Ropes And Dying Quails - The Baseball Project

Everyone's so kind and humble 

Don't you know that I can see right through it? 

Keeping all their comments down 

You know it ain't a boast if you can do it 

And everyone says "Say hey" 

And everyone says "Did you see that kid play?" 

I've got to give the kid a hand 

But there's nothing that he can do better than I can 

I'm Ted Fucking Williams 

People say it's hard to like a man 

Who doesn't fail and show he's a human 

But failure's not a sign of grace 

It only means you don't know what you're doing 

And everyone says "Hey, Mick" 

Mantle this, Mantle that, it makes me sick 

It's just so hard to see 

Why do they like him better than me? 

I'm Ted Fucking Williams 

And everyone says "Hey, Duke" 

Like everything I did was some kind of fluke 

I gotta give the Duke a hand 

But there's nothing that he can do better than I can 

I'm Ted Fucking Williams
