Super Heroes
By Kenneth Cifuentes

You got what you wanted. So why are you still here?
You got what you wanted. So why are you still here?
You got what you wanted. So why are you still here?
You got what you wanted.

Each day they’d try to get me
No one to protect me
How did I, not run and hide.
Here comes the bus I’m shaking
I can’t stop my mind from racing
Damned if I, let’em see me cry

I’d never mean to say the things I always seemed to say
The words always got in the way
Don’t waste your prayers on me
I didn’t ask for sympathy
And please never call me again

I prayed to god for help thinking that he surely would
Then he didn’t so I looked around for someone that could
Where are the super heroes, Daddy, Please I swear I’ll be good
Tell me where they have gone

God made me to believe
There’s something wrong with me
How I tried to play the line
The best advice they had
It’s your fault act like a man
Why would I choose this life?

I’d never mean to say the things I always seemed to say
The words always got in the way
Don’t waste your prayers on me
I didn’t ask for sympathy
And please never call me again

I prayed to God for help, thinking he surely would
When he didn’t I looked around for someone that could
Where are the super heroes, Daddy, please I swear I’ll be good
Tell me where they have gone.

Hey, where’s my boy at? I just thought I’d call and talk to him for a little while. If you get this message soon, give me a call back. It’s your mother. Bye.

I prayed to God for help, thinking he surely would
When he didn’t I looked around for someone that could
Where are the super heroes, Daddy, please I swear I’ll be good
Tell me where they have gone.
I prayed to God for help, thinking he surely would
When he didn’t I looked around for someone that could
Where are the super heroes, Daddy, please I swear I’ll be good
Tell me where they have gone.
