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...
