I can hardly believe it
When I did the the Maths today
I had to go and trade off M. Lemieux

I said I was bleeding
I was forced into a trade
Superstar for Patrick Roy
I'd say I'm screwed

So tell me how I'll go about it
Should I get the trade amended
Tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me: How am I supposed to trade without you
How can I get my team's cap so wrong
How am I supposed to trade without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all my goalies injured or they're gone

No point re-trying
My finances is a a clown
All the players lock up, deadline is at hand
How can I blame you, when I built my team around him
I hope that one day, I can trade down in the draft

I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for keeping
Even though this game is more than fake

Tell me: How am I supposed to trade without you
How can I get my team's cap so wrong
How am I supposed to trade without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all my goalies injured or they're gone

Now I don't wanna know the price I really paid for keeping
Now Lord Stanley's in your room

Tell me: How am I supposed to trade without you
How can I get my team's cap so wrong
I can't give up 3 defensemen to you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all my goalies injured or they're gone
