Superman

[grimbo]

This alternative look at the comic book hero was written by myself and is performed by John Butterworth


Superman


Can you please tell me the point of Superman
I have to say, I've never been a fan
The daring duels we've seen
Are all on a movie screen
Can you please tell me the point of Superman

Is there really any point in Superman
All his books and films I would go and ban
The major risks he took
They're all in a comic book
Is there really any point in Superman

Chorus

We grew up on the stories
How he cares, he's strong and kind
Lets not forget
When it comes to it
He's only in your mind

Verse

I really have no time for Superman
I change the channel anytime I can
How he made Cat Woman purr
It never really did occur
I really have no time for Superman



Chorus

We grew up on the stories
How he cares, he's strong and kind
Lets not forget
When it comes to it
He's only in your mind


Verse

Can you please tell me the point of Superman
I still regard him as an also ran
If he died, he won't be missed
Because he don't exist
Can you please tell me the point of Superman


Can you please tell me the point of Superman

Great blues song with killer piano playing.
Lyrics are cool and humorous, vocals are solid.
Nice work.

I sense an allegory.

Heard this in Overlooked Gems. It's fun. Got my attention right away.
