Superheroes! from EP ominous! by Potent Bathers

SUPERHEROES
© BETH PATTERSON & CJ SOLOMON
YOU AND ME, WE’RE LITTLE GIRLS AGAIN
WE DON’T PLAY HOUSE, THERE’S NO BARBIE AND KEN
YOU GET YOUR CAPE, AND I’LL GET MY SWORD
FOR IT’S THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD THAT ALWAYS REAP THE REWARD
TWO PLANETS ORBIT PARALLEL LINES
IT’S A GRANDLY IMPOSSIBLE TEASING DESIGN
BUT NEVER THE TWO SHALL MEET, MY FRIEND
OR WILL OUR WORLDS COLLIDE AGAIN?

WE’D LIKE TO THINK WE’RE ABOVE IT, WOULDN’T YOU?
WE’D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE DON’T LOVE IT, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE’RE BORN TO DO
DON’T WANNA BLAME THE GODS, SO WE HATE OURSELVES WHEN WE CRAVE
BUT BABE, YOU GOTTA LOVE YOURSELF; IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO STAY BRAVE

(Chorus)
WE’RE GONNA BE SUPERHEROES, ROLES ARE REARRANGED
YEAH, WE’RE GONNA BE SUPERHEROES, ALL IT TAKES IS A COSTUME CHANGE
WE’RE GONNA BE SUPERHEROES, KICK SOME ASS AND SAVE THE DAY
AND JUST LIKE SUPERHEROES, WITHOUT WORDS WE’LL FLY AWAY

THERE’S THE CHEERING CROWD, AND THE CYNICS THAT SCORN
WE RISE TO OUR FOES, TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS
SELFLESS WE ENTER A HOPELESS FIGHT
TIMELESS WARRIORS IN COLORFUL TIGHTS

A COMIC BOOK ENDING WOULD SUIT ME JUST FINE
BUT IF THAT HAPPENS NOW, IT’S THE END OF THE LINE
STILL SO MUCH TO BE DONE, MY FRIEND
AND NOTHING REALLY WON

WE MASK OUR FACES, DON’T WANT THEM TO KNOW
THAT WE HAVE SCARS, TOO - JUST LIKE THEM - BUT CAN’T AFFORD TO LET THEM SHOW
A FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE’S NO PLACE TO ENTERTAIN
WE HIDE FROM THE WORLD BUT WE CAN’T HIDE FROM THE PAIN
(Repeat Chorus)
AND THE WORLD WILL MARVEL AT US FOR A CHANGE
I DON’T CARE IF PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT WE ARE STRANGE
DON’T CARE IF WE GET DIRTY, LET’S GET IN THE MUD
I DON’T WANT A DREAM HOUSE, I WANT SMOKE AND BLOOD

(Repeat Chorus)
