Death of a cricket fan

It's five in the evening
You're watching cricket

It's five in the morning
You're watching cricket

You're seven years old
You're watching cricket

Your dad's thirty-seven
He's watching cricket.

You switch to channel 7
It's showing cricket

Your switch to channel 9
You can't help but tune in to cricket

You're looking for heroes
You'll find them in cricket

Your idols are giants.
They all come from cricket

The whole world is cheering
It's gotta be cricket

You look for strength of character
You'll find it in cricket

You look for determination
You'll find it in cricket

You look for genius
You'll find it in cricket

You look for champions
You'll find them in cricket

You look for traitors
You'll find them in cricket

The cricket fan just died
May his soul rest in peace

ps. It can't be true.
