13 July, 1930, Montevideo Laurent fires the first one in and history starts to flow 96 years of glory, 96 years of pain 2700 goals - let's do it all again These are the names that never die! Pelé, Messi, Klose - raise 'em to the sky These are the names that never die! From ‘54 to ‘26 - we never said goodbye (never die!) Pelé was 17, Sweden, ‘58 Youngest scorer on the planet - told the world to wait 3 World Cups, 3 titles, one man, one Brazil Half a century later and we feel the shivers still These are the names that never die! Three gold trophies, one king - touch the sky These are the names that never die! Nobody's done it since and nobody knows why (never die!) Salenko, June of ‘94, a Tuesday afternoon 5 goals against Cameroon - he left the building too soon Klose ‘16, a German ghost, the record still stands tall Mbappe's chasing shadows but he's gotta catch them all These are the names that never die! 16 goals, Miroslav - never say goodbye These are the names that never die! Every record is a mountain - somebody's gonna try (never die!) Messi, 26 games, the most the world has seen The little man from Rosario - forever 17 And Roger Milla danced the corner flag at 42 If you think this game has limits - it'll make a fool of you Sükür after 11 seconds - blink and it was done Fastest goal in history, Turkey's smoking gun Fontaine, 13 goals in one tournament, ‘58 Some records aren't just broken - they were carved in stone by fate These are the names that never die! Zagallo, Beckenbauer, Deschamps - reaching for the sky These are the names that never die! Player, coach, and champion - one man, one reply (never die!) These are the games that never lie! 48 nations, one trophy - the world goes by These are the days that never die! From the first kick to the last - we live and we defy (never die!) Who never dies? (PELÉ!) Who never dies? (MESSI!) Who never dies? (KLOSE!) Who never dies? (ALL OF THEM) Oh oh oh - the names go on forever Oh oh oh - the game keeps us together
