It started back in junior high when I became so strong (rawr) And soon I found that I could fly, it didn't take that long (zoom) The super speed, the laser eyes, the list goes on and on (and on!) I even think my superpowers helped me write this song (rhyme!) Sometimes I'll go out looking for some trouble just for fun (let's go) I always get the giggles when the punks bring out their guns (pew pew) I'll gather up their weapons and I'll hurl them at the sun (hot!) My name's the Silver Savior and I'm loved by everyone I know when you're danger and I leap into the sky (zoom!) I land precisely at the crime and poke 'em in the eye (boink!) And once I hit a guy so hard I kinda made him die (oops) You think that you can hurt me well just go ahead and try (or don't) I never miss a photo op with kids from Make a Wish (aww) I shill for Taco Bell because endorsements make me rich (ka-ching) And just last week I realized that I can talk to fish (sup fish!) I'm really not omnipotent, let's say omnipotish Just look at him and see This isn't just hyperbole And I give autographs for free Let's give it up for me Did you see me on TV There's nothing toxic about my masculinity Let's give it up for me Do I get bored of hero stuff? It kinda all depends (on what?) A criminal's predictable, they never comprehend (so dumb) They steal themselves some money and they buy themselves some friends (for now) And then I toss them back in jail, it's always how this ends (uh huh) Now some have called me Christ-like, but that's just idle talk (oh yeah?) Worshippers? Well I don't know, I see them as a flock (like sheep!) The people want protection from a symbol worth its stock (word) I laugh when facing danger, yeah I just don't give a (hey! hey!) Can you believe the editor who says I'm outta line? (wrong) He calls me sacrilegious, he tells me to resign (as if) He yells at me, his papers sell, that seems to work out fine (uh huh) But let's be real, I’m close as you can get to the divine (amen!) I know I’m not a god, though I look like one to you (you do) I accept that I’m exceptional and everyone does too (of course) You never have to worry, I'm devoted through and through (oh good) Good thing I'm not a villain, just imagine what I'd do He's our local deity with invincibility I mean, who's gonna disagree? So let's GIVE it up for ME How much better could I be Sometimes I feel like a one-man trinity Let's give it up for me (everybody!) So let's give it up for me you're in my reality It's hard to handle so much humility Let's give it up for me Me me me me me!

Don’t tell me that you love me I’ve heard it all before you have my soul, I have your key but I need something more I felt an obligation so I assumed the debt For 15 years of service I haven’t been paid yet And to think I fought to save this place Did you ever care at all You can blame yourself, it’s your disgrace Every time…another hero falls You said you would remember No sacrifice in vain A year ago December You can’t recall the name The saints of Saint Christina We don’t get to retire You don’t respect the struggle You will respect the fire You reduce me to a pretty face Who comes when duty calls There’s an ugly truth you can’t erase Every time I have done as you commanded Every day what you’ve demanded You are twisted, you are slanted After years here’s where I’ve landed Your agenda is supplanted No more lies, I’m disenchanted No more leaving empty-handed No more taking me for granted Your worship is pathetic Your values are a joke When flame consumes the kindling We all go up in smoke The rats who think they’re clever Had flaws in every plan I know that I know better Catch me if you can I have searched for years to find my place I am free, and that is all I feel no regret for your mistakes Every time another hero falls

Let me tell you all about my unlimited plan I need a minute of your short attention span there's a thing about people that I never understand you don't look at other people you just look into your hand More victims everyday They offer you a window from the world and you obey Goddamn, can you put that thing away there's more to this existence than a digital display It happens every damn day, people's lives are on hold from the cattle in the subway to the robots on the road Goddamn, just look what you were sold you gave away your freedom, you are all remote controlled Danielle, you never can tell When you're here in Hero Falls it can all just go to hell Goddamn Alexander Graham Bell Now everyone's imprisoned in a private cell You can't be left to your own devices and you never could You never asked what the ultimate price is and I think you should Why don't you listen to me, why don't you listen to me I'm right in front of you and still you never see If you don't know you're a slave you can never be free Communication will be the death of me Can you hear me now, did you hear what I said The satellite's a parasite and it's inside your head Goddamn, it's only gonna spread One crash and everything's dead You can't be left to your own devices and you never could I'm working on saving a world that's in crisis for the greater good You can't be left to your own devices and you never could You never asked what the ultimate price is and I think you should

I can remember the night when we first met the sky I know you felt a little scared, a little shy Said it was someone else's gift, as you took flight All I know is you lost your fear of heights that night Sometimes we'd sneak out late at night, enjoy the view Most of the time I had more fun enjoying you Up in our private space above, alone, reserved That compensation was the least that we deserved Because we always had the sky, you and I We always had the sky We always had the sky, you and I Secret identities and playing dress-up games I used to worry we'd forgotten our real names Spending our days and our nights in someone's fantasy Why did you take so much responsibility Maybe it looked like our whole life was action scenes When I think back I miss the moments in-between People adored us but they never really knew I can't deny it's far less thrilling without you But we will always have the sky, you and I We will always have the sky We will always have the sky, you and I We traveled the world and elsewhere Existing above in the open air A bolt from the blue and now I'm afraid there's no more time I'm keeping busy and, you know, I can't complain Once in a while it still hurts when it rains They're all supportive but there's pity in their eyes When I miss you I always come back to our skies Cause we will always have the sky, you and I We will always have the sky We will always have the sky, you and I

Well first you need to know that I had no intent to kill I'm just a poor inventor developing my skills Murphy was an optimist before he went downhill When you're here in Hero Falls, if it can go wrong, it will I like to dream up gadgets that I think can be of use My science is compliant with whatever plan you choose I've always been inspired by the heroes on the news I want to help them win but I always seem to lose I'm no mad scientist, just a bad scientist Everyone one of my inventions was created to assist People question my intentions and they still seem unconvinced I'm not mad It's just sad That I'm bad I came up with a stun grenade to help out Lucky Ace I put it in a pretty case and left it at his place I figured he could use it to stop robbers in a chase But I guess he wasn't lucky when it blew up in his face The portal gun, that shoulda worked, as far as I can tell You zap a villain where they stand and send them to a cell The prison guards described it as a doorway into hell The body parts were scrambled and they can't forget the smell I'm no mad scientist, just a bad scientist Usually the problem is a decimal point I've missed I'm sorry that I made your friend explode into a mist I'm not mad It's just sad Look The goal of my constructions is to help, let me be clear Sometimes they do malfunction, just like any other gear But somehow the destruction has defined my short career If you don't read the instructions don't just blame the engineer To harness quantum energy is practically an art When magic turns out tragic it takes courage to restart I almost packed it in after the freeze ray fell apart And my taser fried Epitome and barbecued her heart The laser net and grapple gun were failures in the end But Skull & Bones survived and now I hear they're on the mend I know it all looks terrible, I'm on a downward trend But I've gotta keep on trying or I'll never make amends I'm no mad scientist, just a bad scientist I set my sights on greatness but so far I've kinda missed The accidental murder is why people are so pissed I'm not mad It's just sad That I'm bad

You You're more a rumor than a family man You Now you're a legend and I have to ask When you were out there in space could you remember my face Did you forget about the people you abandoned in this place You We've got some history, none of it mine You So out of touch so now I'm out of my mind It didn't take me too long to realize you were gone If this is how you say you're sorry then you really got it wrong How does this work You disappear forever still connected by this tether How does this work I don't want your fucking jewelry, pretty clear you never knew me How does this work You You wanted me to carry on instead And you You're my inheritance from the dead Your whole identity was codependency Get this cuff off you can fuck off if you think that this is me You I'm not surprised it doesn't answer my call You Can't say you ever really knew me at all Don’t make decisions for me, not what I wanted to be How can you call yourself a hero when you couldn't save me How does this work You disappear forever still connected by this tether and How does this work I don't want your fucking jewelry, pretty clear you never knew me How does this work Shackled by your memory, the family ties that bind How can you love me when you leave me behind How does this work You disappear forever still connected by this tether How does this work I don't want your fucking jewelry, pretty clear you never knew me How does this work

Welcome friends I am so glad you could attend I recommend we start, now everyone's arrived Because tonight Despite the storm, the future's bright There'll be no more need to fight to stay alive My honored guests I do consider you the best It's why the rest were not invited to my hall I propose A new alliance with my foes Form a guild none could oppose in Hero Falls Let me put your mind at ease As you enjoy the wine and cheese Guarantees are in the actions, not the words Why leave the future up to fate? Have a drink and fill your plate For tonight, we celebrate I call a toast For I respect you four the most Please indulge your humble host as I profess On nights like these Let us enjoy the pleasantries Tonight the brie and the chablis taste like success We would be strong If we could all just get along It's a wrong we can make right if we agree So as you dine Imagine all our goals aligned All the power will be ours I guarantee Cooperation is the key To invincibility Coalescence is a blessing, not a curse I suggest we call a truce Put our skills to better use Now, please enjoy the chocolate mousse My father said "You're either quick or else you're dead" and he'd beat me 'til the red began to flow It took its toll A lesson etched upon my soul Take control, and once you have it, don't let go The final course Best served cold, with no remorse With a simple Trojan horse the deed is done Now that you're fed You haven't heard a word I've said The dead have no idea what has begun Now the hour is growing late New opportunities await I know my fate would be the same were roles reversed This concludes our dinner date Delivered on a silver plate I am so glad that you just ate your just desserts

You and me It was love at first sight, yeah that's right, the way love oughta be Make it three Have a girl or a boy, bring some joy and build a family Not to be If your sperm doesn't squirm then we'll find another strategy Now I see There are steps we can take we can make our dream reality On a date at the happiest place, all those happy children out at the gate Contemplate I see answers to all of our problems, it's almost like fate Let's not wait Find a kid we can mold not too old I'm thinking seven or eight Not too late It's bad luck, we're not stuck, we're not screwed if we can't procreate My plan is to throw 'em in a van and we make 'em what we want them to be Use your washing machine and wipe their memories clean I mean how hard can it be to make a happy family? Old cliche You were told to have kids, so you did, but now they won't go away Every day I see children ignored, Mom is more engaged with her chardonnay Easy prey they're neglected and lightly defended, we can save them today Don't delay Have a heart do our part to prevent a future runaway We want kids and there are plenty around Laughing at the park and on the merry-go-round But if you gag their tiny mouths you know they hardly make a sound Vacant stare While he's throwing a tantrum, she's numb as he puts gum in her hair Deep despair While he's screaming and crying, she's lying if she says that she cares Let's be fair If the kid went away would she say someone had answered her prayers? Don't be scared Once we take them you make them forget that they were ever a pair Be glad, you get to be a dad You were supposed to make a baby with me Stick to the plan, we'll find our perfect little man And if it works, maybe two or three Look Frank, you're the one shooting blanks I won't let you take this from me Once we get us a kid, make him forget what we did And then we get to be a happy family A happy family

Turns out I was murdered Gotta say that was quite a surprise When you consider the cancer I expected another demise I got my diagnosis It was worse than I thought it would be A depressing prognosis But the doctor gave it straight to me, he gave me Two weeks to live Too weak to give myself any more time Two weeks to live Too late for fate and I don’t know mine And then I don't remember It was dark when I woke up here The eighteenth of December The last fourteen days just disappeared Now I'm nowhere And a voice called from out of the black It said you don’t belong here I gotta send you back I’ll give you Two weeks to live Too weak to give you any more time Two weeks to live Who got away with the perfect crime When I walk through that door Am I myself anymore I'm a victim Someone took my final days Someone owes me an answer And someone’s gonna pay I was murdered Sent me back to here to find out why Cancer wasn't the answer I'm already running out of time I've got Two weeks to live Too weak to give myself any more time Two weeks to live Can I make the punishment fit the crime Two weeks to live Two weak to give myself any more time Two weeks to live Too late for fate and I don’t know mine
