Superhero Lyrics

it's just a feeble indication
of what it'd be like
to break a man over your head
and still feel alright
and if he's forced to resign
why would he hand in his cape
reduce him to a man
but in another super way

you'll never get a chance like this
he knows he'll never die
and that he'll always win
he doesn't eat he doesn't sleep
he'll never shave
and all he can do is save
in the hope it makes him super again

he goes from strength to strength
in every sub-human way
he takes on superhero pain
and still feels ok
and would his parents care to know
that for the rest of their lives
he'll always be twenty-three
he's going to grow up to watch them die

you'll never get a chance like this
he knows he'll never die
and that he'll always win
he doesn't eat he doesn't sleep
he'll never shave
and all he can do is save
in the hope it makes him super again
super again

it's just another super way
he's only earning his super wage
he'll go through any super pain
in an effort to make his super name
