This is the long awaited video for my song about the Canberra Raiders. Unfortunately, for New Zealand Warriors supporters, the score line ended up with the big numbers on the wrong side. I’m afraid this song will not be valid until the Warriors meet the Raiders in their next encounter. The green machine won’t have it so easy next time.

The Warriors played quite poorly, by their own admissions, and let the Raiders dish out a rugby league lesson of mammoth proportions. The Auckland based juggernaut will need to start winning some games and produce more consistent football in order to give the NRL competition a shake in 2009!

Raiders

I almost feel sorry for the raiders
As the Warriors beat them again
The green machine doesn’t look so mean
They are boys in the shadows of men

I almost shed a tear for the Raiders
As the Warriors pound them to dust
They’ll beg for less and they won’t impress
The green machine’s starting to rust

The Raiders will march to the slaughter
Into the blood-thirsty jaws of defeat
The Raiders are no match for Warriors
They’ll give up the ghost and retreat

I almost give a damn about the Raiders
As their lifeless bodies collapse
The green machine is a distant dream
Lightning strikes! Thunder claps!
