Yeah I feel a lot better now the idiot's gone
Yeah I feel a lot better now I wrote this song

I had to get it off my chest
Say it out loud
I feel so much netter now I spoke about it

The idiot's gone
Yeah I said the idiot's gone
I said the idiot's gone...

I said the idiot's gone
He's gone for good now
Don't come back
We love the way that the idiot's gone
Yeah I said the idiot's gone

I was sick of 3-5-2
Always wanted 4-4-2
Because our team always played with wingers
For all these 35 years I've been watching them

Don't you know that the long ball never really works!?
'Cos the ball gets headed back to you
And we're always on the back foot - even at home
Then we go two goals down and wonder why
We're never great coming back but
Sometimes we go and win 3-2, yeah!
And sometimes we lose 3-2, yeah!
And then they say 'Hey that man, that group is really good!'
That team is really good 'cos they just keep coming back
But why don't we go ahead in the first place?
Two goals ahead in the first place
Why not? Why not?

They said the idiot's gone
I said the idiot's gone
They said the idiot's gone
I said the idiot's gone

I feel a lot better
I feel a lot better now the idiot's gone
I feel a lot better
Now the idiot's gone
Feels so good

And I reckon that those players didn't wanna play anymore
'Cos that's why they went three goals down
And when they hit the fourth goal
I really wanted - I jumped up in the air
I can't believe that I wanted my team to lose 4-0
I was hoping that it would be enough
For them to say to you goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!

Goodbye - Now the idiot's gone

And it was - and today it happened
We were sick of the Atkins Diet
Defending mighty football
We want the wingers back!
Bring Mr Williams back!

But don't bring Worrell Sterling back!
He never went 'round anyone
He's gone the same way
He's gone the same way... (he went sideways baby!)
(That) the idiot's gone

The idiot's gone
The idiot's gone
I said the idiot's gone
