When they fill in my grave
And the people walk away
I don't want them to pray
Just do not forget my name!
When my coffin's been laid
And the writing's been engraved
I don't want to rot away
I've got people still to save (save me)
I want you passers-by
To acknowledge I'm alive
To be someone desired
Be fantastic in your eyes
I want to be the guy
For whom, no obstacle's too high
Has no teardrops in his eyes
Takes bad fortune in his stride
I want to fly
But my heels just drag on the pavement
I want to inspire
Be admired and celebrated
I'm Mr Hyde
Because of these concoctions I’m taking
I want to be the doctor
Not the abomination
I cry
But wait til nobody's near though
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
Ka-Blam!
I'll never
Be the man of the people
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
God damn!
I try to live day to day
Keep the cracker on the plate
Try to fill up my brain
With distractions from the pain
Every slit in my mind
Lets the darkness seep inside
Tangled weeds creep up the vine
Vultures eat me from inside out
I want to live a life
I don't have to cloak in lies
What I've got will suffice
Don't need pills to crack a smile
I want to have a place
That's not covered by the shade
At my crux be unafraid
Be the captain of my fate but
Time robs me blind
And I just crumple the pages
I'm standing in line
Though I have run out of patience
I lost my pride
My self esteem is still vacant
Chances come my way
But I don't know how to take them
I cry
Don't feel like showing the tears though
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
Ka-Blam!
I try
But they know I'm just a weirdo
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
Fuck that!
