Superhero Lyrics

He wakes up from another nightmare in the middle of the night

To the sound of gunfire and those bright flashing lights

He knows he's got a job to do, put other lives before his own

As he straps on his boots he prays, let me make it home

He grabs his gun and feels his heart racing

He walks out of that tent, all guns blazing

He don't wear a cape or wear a mask

No superpowers, not dressed in black

He's just an ordinary man that breaks and bleeds

There's no magic rings or kryptonite

He'll scream, Semper Fi until he dies

He's Clark Kent just dressed in his green fatigues

He's just like him, he's a Marine

He's got a wife and son back home, his life looks pretty good

His son reads about those heroes in his comic books

He wishes they were real so he could meet them someday

Little does he know he lives with the real thing

He don't wear a cape or wear a mask

No superpowers, not dressed in black

He's just an ordinary man that breaks and bleeds

There's no magic rings or kryptonite

He'll screams, Semper Fi until he dies

He's Clark Kent just dressed in his green fatigues

He's just like him, he's a Marine

This isn't DC, or no storybook make-believe

He's the real thing by the stars and stripes on his sleeve

And if tonight's the night that he don't make it through

He couldn't be more proud to serve the red, white and blue

He don't wear a cape or wear a mask

No superpowers, not dressed in black

He's just an ordinary man that breaks and bleeds

There's no magic rings or kryptonite

He'll scream, Semper Fi until he dies

He's Clark Kent just dressed in his green fatigues

He's just like him, he's just like him

He's just like him, he's a Marine
