Superhero
have you ever wanted to be a superhero
busting heads and
breaking hearts, so
dashing people make you into art
and with fanfare install you
in City Hall
from filth and scum and
when times are good
they turn on you and
when times are bad
they turn to you and
every
time
you go back to
help
what would your power be?
would you fly or
dive or
run
?
run the city and
save the world
would you
use your x-ray vision
to look up women’s skirts
would you use your awesome power
to hook up and to flirt
would you come from outer space
to study the human race
and to pack us off
to see the things
we can’t yet make
to take over
would you inspire all the
good little
boys and girls
would you infiltrate society
and change us for the better
if you knew it’s what we need
in your arms
lift us out of harm
when the world is
going to hell
and we’re far too close to tell
but we’re falling in a well
with no end in sight
we’re too tired to fight
but there’s no other way
to make bad guys pay
so we need you to stay
and save us today
will you be the one we need
to take our hand and lead
Well
there’s no call for speed
I’m just planting the seed
