lyrics
Once upon a time on this puny blue planet
A couple set forth a son.
He came to kick ass,
He came to take names,
And he came to get shit done.
But this isn't his story, it's mine.
Once upon a time on this puny blue planet
A different couple had a kid.
With an average childhood,
He came up just like his dad.
He was angry, he was loud,
And he talked out of his ass.
His mother said that genetics played a role in this.
He didn't have dreams,
He didn't have aspirations,
Nowhere to be,
Knew exactly where he came from.
If you wanted an epic tale,
Go somewhere else.
If you wanted Superman,
Go fuck yourself.
A couple set forth a son.
He came to kick ass,
He came to take names,
And he came to get shit done.
But this isn't his story, it's mine.
Once upon a time on this puny blue planet
A different couple had a kid.
With an average childhood,
He came up just like his dad.
He was angry, he was loud,
And he talked out of his ass.
His mother said that genetics played a role in this.
He didn't have dreams,
He didn't have aspirations,
Nowhere to be,
Knew exactly where he came from.
If you wanted an epic tale,
Go somewhere else.
If you wanted Superman,
Go fuck yourself.
