Whats wrong with the fight song? It's pretty simple in it's lyrics.
I was wondering the same thing... apparently "The eyes of Texas are upon you" - which isn't the actual fight song anyway - were inspired by Robert E Lee telling graduates of Washington & Lee University that the eyes of the South are on upon them.
And as we all know, EVERYTHING associated with Robert E Lee is racist as all hell.

Also the song was used in minstrel shows iirc. So in typical SJW fashion, things can never lose their stigma and become positive, only be canceled.
