Wish I Was a Hero

Verse 1

Sometimes I wish I had a superpower,

One of those kinds that could change the world.

Snap my fingers, make it all turn around,

Like the pageant queens dream when they wear their crowns.

Bring the peace, lift the dying man's head,

Fill the world with love, pull it back from the edge.

Pre-Chorus

Oh, I wanna be a superhero,

Old-school or one they call a "boy."

With a cape and a sword,

A laser gun, a cowboy.

Invisible, unstoppable, beyond belief,

Strong as steel, no one could break me—

But I'm not.

But I'm not.

Chorus

I'm just another face in the daily grind,

No beauty, no joy, no light in my eyes.

Not like the queens with their smiles so bright,

Sayin' they'll make the whole world right.

All I see is the machine comin' for me,

And I just wanna run,

Find a place to hide,

Put off the day—

That damn day—

When the clock punches in to watch me lose,

Watch the machine chew me up.

Pre-Chorus

Oh, I wanna be a superhero,

Old-school or one they call a "boy."

With a cape and a sword,

A laser gun, a cowboy.

Invisible, unstoppable, beyond belief,

Strong as steel, no one could break me—

But I'm not.

But I'm not.

I'm not.

no! no! no! Bo!

I'm not.

Verse 2

Oh, I wanna be a superhero,

Save the folks from the fear they know.

They're runnin' just like me,

Tryin' to break free from the pain that won't go.

Outro

Oh, I wish I could be a superhero...
