Metropolis cityscape
chronically clear skies
in a shakable globe
but everything that glitters ain't gold
Superman? Who me...
nah I'm just Clark Kent.
Damsels in distress
chased by bill collectors
big baby daddies
and plummeting credit scores
"Save me Superman! Save me!"
Superman? Who me
nah I'm mild mannered Clark Kent.
I gotta get this "S" off my chest!
I scrub and scratch but there it is
showing through tailored shirts w/ french cuffs.
Shinning on promotion day,
peaking through peak lapels and
moleskin jackets.
Superman? Who me...
nah just quiet Clark Kent.
"S" in my smile
"S" in my swagger
"S" as I sprint my morning mile
"S" as my financial portfolio gets fatter
"S" on the bottom of my shoes
These women, they track me...
“Accidently” falling over safety banisters
screaming on the way down
Hoping "one good man" will save’em
Catch'em in a red cape
before they hit the ground.
SPLAAAAT!
Yes, I stepped aside whistlin'
She'll be fine...
maybe next time
she'll make her own ends
Stop looking for a super hero to depend
on...'cuz I don't know one.
Superman? Who me...
nah the name's Clark Kent.
