Practice Blood, sweat, mostly tears Bulking up on empathy There’s no refs in love Chorus: Sadness Joy Anger Fear Mick’s verse: Anima Sane In Corpore Sano Healthy body healthy mind It’s just as hard to Be flexible With your body as with your brain Pumping iron at the feelings gym Chorus Joshua’s verse: I was 4 foot 10 and Weighed 90 pounds when I went into high school I was destined for lifelong virginity and Fear of chin up bars (Mick says virginity) Then, I had an emotional growth spurt I started to play in band I hit my stride and became a man when I became the drum major (Mick says virginity) Mini chorus: Athletes of emotion Voiceover: Fuck you coach Fuck you schoolyard picks Fuck you hand eye coordination Fuck you body mass index Bridge: Push ups, pull ups, deadlifts, and squats We’ve done all of those for our thoughts Carbo loading on self-help books Strengthening my core …. values Admitting I’m wrong Is my leg day (Outro Lyrics) We don’t need no Olympics Cos we’re gold medalists of the heart We solve things with compassion We are MVPs of love We’re Athletes of Emotion (x2)

Us love we! Coda/vamp 4x: We love we. We love we.
