No S on My Chest

Chorus:
When the world's in trouble and the shit hits the fan    
I'd rather be Clark Kent than Superman  
I work hard and I give it my best    
But I ain't walking around with no S on my chest    
   
I may have become more than a little bit jaded  
But I always thought Superman was highly overrated    
It's easy to go through life with good looks and super powers    
Save the day, then fly in the sky for hours    
Clark Kent has to go to work just like me  
And be what his boss wants  or at least pretend to be    
Hiding behind a simple set of glasses    
We fight through life like we're maneuvering through molasses    
Yes, Superman does it all with incredible ease    
Saving the day then flying off in the breeze
He never has to clean up the mess he leaves behind    
That's left to me and the Clark Kent kind    
   
Chorus  
   
And just like Clark, I know I'm stronger than people know    
They only see the part of me that I'm willing to show    
And just like Clark, I pretend it doesn't matter    
As I watch the Perry Whites getting fatter and fatter    
Yes Clark Kent is my hero    
Clark Kent is me    
   
Cause...  
Chorus
Author's Note
Everyone wants to be Superman, but we're all closer to their alter egos.
