Super

Super Hero
We need a super hero
I need a spider-man to come and save the day
A protector of the night; batman
Where are you?
We need a super man to help us
Put us on the straight and narrow
Captain America
Where’d you go?
Just a man with a shield
Standing tall and proud in my TV screen
Calling out from the pages of a magazine?
Super. Super. Super Hero
We need a super hero
Take us back to the brighter days
Defeat the bad guys
Defend the helpless
Save the innocent
Where’d you go?
Where’d you go?
We need a super hero.
We need a super hero.
I’m afraid.
I really am.
Because while the target isn’t on me
Why does it have to be on my friends?
Just because their skin is different?
Is that what’s this is all about?
Tell me please.
Super. Super. Super Hero.
We need a super hero.
Wolverine’s attitude isn’t present.
Storm clap the thunder and show us your class
Beast Boy and Robin, I know ya’ll are full of sass
So let us hear it.
Who can I trust?
Who can I believe in?
Who can I put my faith in?
Super. Super. Super Hero!
We need a super hero.
A friendly neighborhood spider-man.
A high flying superman.
A crime fighting batman.
A cocky but moral iron man
Please, we need a super
Super. Super hero.
We need a super hero.
I want to go to the days before
Those younger years
When I could trust
And feel happy
Safe to play in the fields
But maybe that was a lie.
Maybe this is the way it’s always been
And I’ve just been wearing rose glasses
Strange the world didn’t seem pink then
Maybe I get older the roses are wilting
Is that what this is?
How long are we going to take this?
How long do we have to live in fear?
How long do we have to be so uncertain?
To worry that if my friend walks down the street
He or she will be unlucky to meet
Some cruel being who’ll take them off their feet
While they scream, “I can’t breathe!”
Will they let go?
Will someone come to their rescues?
Or will people just watch and laugh?
Maybe take a video for the internet?
We need a super hero.
Super. Super. Super Hero.
We really need a super hero.
I don’t care what your theme is
I don’t care what god you pray to
I don’t care how silly your name sounds
I don’t care about your background
I don’t care how many times life knocks you down
I just want a super hero
One that stands strong and true
One that’ll raise their head and shout!
“This isn’t right! This isn’t the way!”
One that’s moral.
One that’s here to help.
Even if you’re just saving cats from trees.
I don’t care if you’re the Flash or Sonic.
I don’t care if you’re a plumber looking for a princess
I don’t care if you’re rescuing Zelda or a Metroid
Just please, please, stop by and
Be our super. Super. Super hero.
We need a super hero.
We’re crying out here.
We’re crying for the loved ones we held dear.
Please this world is hard to bear
I don’t know how it keeps happening
Guess history will keep repeating itself
Maybe the final fantasy isn’t repetitive
But why must we repeat the failures
Why must we relive the pain?
We need a super hero
Super. Super. Super Hero.
We need a super hero.
One who’ll stand tall
Show it to the world
That it’s not right to shot a man 6 times
In some sorry excuse for self defense
That it’s not right to choke a man out
When he’s crying, “I can’t breathe!”
We’re so messed up.
We’re so far gone.
We need help before we nuke ourselves.
We need a super hero.
Super. Super. Super hero.
We need a super hero.
