The Lyrics
Another shout-out to all those non-Eagle fans....Go Cowboys/Jets
Call me a joker, call me a fool
I watch the Eagles, I'll never be cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
They will lose for the rest of my life
Sometimes it feels like they're going to win
I don't know what fantasy world I've been in
Maybe it's only my spite
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
And I know, that they'll fall
It's always nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I got my Linc tickets bill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how do you think it will take
Until the Eagles are burned at the stake?
I hope next Sunday they will
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
And I know, that they'll fall
It's always nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
I've tried to bribe the Refs to fudge with the time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
My team's going down the sink
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to the Linc?
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
And I know, that they'll fall
It's always nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
You can be sure while I booze
The Eagles will still always lose
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
I watch the Eagles, I'll never be cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
They will lose for the rest of my life
Sometimes it feels like they're going to win
I don't know what fantasy world I've been in
Maybe it's only my spite
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
And I know, that they'll fall
It's always nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I got my Linc tickets bill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how do you think it will take
Until the Eagles are burned at the stake?
I hope next Sunday they will
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
And I know, that they'll fall
It's always nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
I've tried to bribe the Refs to fudge with the time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
My team's going down the sink
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to the Linc?
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
And I know, that they'll fall
It's always nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc
No I don't know why I go to the Linc
No matter what it will still be the Stinc
You can be sure while I booze
The Eagles will still always lose
Darling I don't know why I go to the Linc

I hope you will do the opposite of the Eagles: Go from really, really bad at the start to phenomenal at the end. You've got the first part of that right.
It's not so much about how good the song is, it's about how much we hate the Eagles. That's all.
