Artist/Band:
Five Iron Frenzy
Lyrics for Song: Superpowers
Lyrics for Album: Proof that The Youth Are Revolting [1999]
Bacon bits and jalapenos on my polish hot dog
half a pound of potato chips,and a beef jerky log
I press my face to the window
a wrapper sticks to my shirt
Eight people in a stinky van
a couple more couldn't hurt
Eat some food off the floor
I've developed a taste for bread mold
Ride around in a van
don't take a shower for six weeks and
We've been given superpowers
ask usfor an autograph
We sing, we dance, we'll make you laugh
don't you want to be like us?
Everyone in the band can't stand me
just because I fell off the stage
and kind of by accident
I broke the promoter's legs
Sometimes we have a deadline, for writing our songs
Five minutes left to write this last
la, la, la, la, la, la, la la
Sleep in a sleeping bag
Every floor looks the same as last night
You wake up
you drive
you play a show
and then you sleep again
We've been given superpowers
ask us for an autograph
We sing, we dance, we'll make you laugh
don't you want to be like us?
We've been given super powers
Ask about our rock and roll
our hair, our clothes, hobbies, and pets
Does he have a girlfriend yet?
I sometimes feel like I'm Holden Caufield
sometimes Jack Keroac
I wanted to be famous, now I want to take it back
Don't want to rock the mic
don't want to meet the pope
I just want to share with you
how we got this peace and hope
I once wanted to be famous,
now I want to take it back.
