I haven't heard the music, but I read the lyrics. Let me break it down for the first one.

F-We're gonna write the future
I-a little inspiration
R-rock the bleachers
S-T- scientifically.

Not only are these inconsistent, but S and T don't get their own lines. Seriously, they could have at least done S-Science & T-Technology, to reference what FIRST originally stood for. Secondly, How does one go about "rocking" bleachers, especially when most of the regionals/nationals don't even have bleachers to be rocked. I'd imagine rocking the bleachers could be very dangerous, because there should be people in the bleachers.

First- we're gonna kick a little
First-gonna give a little
First- it's gonna take a little energy

In all of the FIRST anything that I have ever gone to, I have never seen anything kicked, unless someone was angry. Secondly, doesn't first take a lot of energy and time? Not only that, but using the words gonna and little three times in three lines just sounds stupid.

First-cause we got the vision
First-than we're gonna build it
First- gonna make a difference
We are gonna be...
F-I-R-S-T

We got the vision, than we're gonna build it. Now I'm no English professor, but I was taught in 6th grade that "than" was reserved for comparisons, like "Whoever wrote this is worse at writing songs than Nickleback." For those of you who like Nickleback, I'm sorry...that you like Nickleback. I really wish Nickleback's music would somehow be erased and that the members of the group would become paralyzed from the neck down, but I digress. In addition, I'm sort of embarrassed by reading those lyrics, much less hearing them.

First- did you ever wonder
First-The facts we uncover
First- We gotta crunch the numbers
Now let's work it

No, I have never wondered what facts you uncovered, plus, wonder and uncover don't even rhyme.
If this was a real song, "Now lets work it" would logically be followed by an instrumental solo, but I don't have the music, so maybe someone could fill me in. If the musical tastes of the people on this forum are close to the musical tastes of whoever wrote this crapfest, it would more likely be some synthesized J-Pop bebooping loop for around a half a minute that a drunk orangutan could make in fruity loops. I hope someone could fill me in.

First- cause it's now or never
First-let's put it all together
First-it's time to pull the leather
Watch who winds up...FIRST.

Alright, I'll admit, I cheated a little bit. I broke up the last stanza into two parts. At our last team meeting before the robot shipped, one of the freshman was sitting around, doing nothing. I walked up to him and said "Jeremy, it's time to pull the leather." He immediately jumped up and started working on the robot, after filling out 13 college applications for mechanical engineering. Man, he was so inspired by that. What does pulling leather have to do with FIRST at all? Do you even pull leather? I mean, seriously. I went to rhymezone.com and came up with a few other words that rhymed with together, and made additional lyrics and are offering them to FIRST free of charge.
First-Now here's Joe, with the weather
First-my favorite sport is tether...ball
First-let's have a team get-together
First-i found an eagle feather
None of these make any sense or relate to First, except number three, but that was an accident. All of these would be just as good in the song as it's time to pull the leather.

For all of you that are complaining that you can't hear the lyrics, you should thank god instead.

edit: I vote for MC Chris for the re-writing/re-recording.
