[Chorus]
The national team
The national team
There's people my age that play for the national team
The national team
The national team
There's people my age that play for the national team

[Verse 1]
The rhythm of life is one that's hard to grasp
I'm clapping out of time, but I want it to last
Once full to the brim was my half glass
But now the flag we fly, it's hanging at half mast

[Chorus]
The national team
The national team
There's people my age that play for the national team
The national tеam
The national team
Therе's people my age that play for the national team

[Verse 2]
But don't pity the runner-up
For he was just trying his best
While silver ups his medication
And gold, he beats his chest
[Bridge]
If life's a competition
Then we can't be the winners
This manual that I own
It's written for beginners
If life's a competition
Then we can't be the winners
This manual that I own
It's written for beginners

[Chorus]
The national team
The national team
There's people my age that play for the national team
The national team
The national team
There's people my age that play for the national team

[Outro]
And everything I wanted, it's only a dream
Yet there's people my age that play for the national team
And everything I wanted, it's only a dream
Yet there's people my age that play for the national team
