Joe Carey - Superhuman Strife
lyrics
Superhuman Strife


I can still remember back when I was a child
I dreamed to be a hero Superman style
A crusader, exterminator
of all the criminals and the violators

Little did I know had the power within
I could jump a mile high and run like the wind
X-ray vision may sound cool
But there are some things you dont want to see through

Chorus:

I wish I woulda realized back then
Just was I was gettin myself into
It surely woulda made me think twice before
Rollin in the superhuman life, yeah

Now Im all grown up, lean and mean
A self-employed crime fightin machine
Leapin over buildings in a single bound
This cat can fly faster than the speed of sound

I spend most of my time on the streets, you know
Keepin kitty-cats outta the trees
If only I knew just how it soon would be

(Chorus)

Now things are startin to go haywire
The next generations growin sick and tired
Of bein told what to do, how, where, and when
So revolutions becomin a trend

I dont know just how to react
When the kids who used to love me now call me a hack
It seems their anger has turned into hate
And Im left lookin like a fool in a cape

Its funny how the world will change
I used to be the hero everyday, yeah
But I can see thats all over now cuz
Hey Im down and out

I gotta hold on to my head and take a breath
The day aint over yet
So sit back and relax or run and play
I dont have to save the world today
