Destiny was calling
Monday afternoon
Wednesday you'll be crawling
And you'll pray to be there soon
With sports and wine
Some men never grew up
Fortunate like you
Some men never found out
What it takes to be a dude
That's Sports and Wine
The girls don't understand it
What you think is art
My oh my we're all impressed
How sensitive you are
Everybody's talkin' about you now
You know it's true
Always has been sports and wine for you
So you ask me how I think I know
Just what makes you tick
I know what I know ya know
I know you make me sick
Sports and wine
Girls don't understand it
Anything you say
I don't understand it either
Guess that makes me gay
Everybody's talking 'bout you now
You know it's true

Yeah, I agree, this song is about those meat-headed guys who seem to have it all and don't deserve it (and thus don't appreciate it). Everything is either a fun game or a celebration. The rest of us can't ever understand what it's like to grow up like that, and they can't imagine what it was like to grow up like we did.
Oh well, we own the music.
@davidecoyote : "We own the music" ! Great line davidcoyote. Although I think this song is more nuanced than just being a criticism of meat-headed alpha males, I really appreciate your insights. It's kind of tragic that people can't understand each other, don't you think? Although I think Ben is criticizing the kind of guy who deals with this by being fliexible, the deeper tragedy is that we just can't seem to simply tolerate each other. Who cares if you're a macho alpha into sports (and beer), or a sensitive guy who likes poetry and can relate to the more emotionally complex realm more easily inhabited by women? We should all just live and let live. In a way, I think although Ben putting on a bit of the snarkiness in this song - in other words, he is subtly making fun of himself for the contradiction inherent in criticizing someone into both sports and wine when in reality he is actually a very tolerant guy who can only not tolerate the intolerant.
