Five Iron Frenzy
Superpowers (live)
[Reese]
It helps to eat a tasty low-fat snack before you exercise
[Keith]
It's time to burn up those carbos
Come on, two, yeah!
[Verse 1]
Bacon bits and jalapeños on my polish hot dog
Half a pound of potato chips, and a beef jerky log
Press my face to the window
Wrapper sticks to my shirt
Eight people in a stinky van
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Reese]
No
[Verse 2]
Everyone in the band can't stand me
Just because I ate pork and beans
And kind of by accident
I farted?
Sometimes we have a deadline, for learning these words
Five minutes left to learn this song
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
[Chorus]
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 she have a boyfriend yet?
[Bridge]
I sometimes feel like I'm Holden Caufield
Sometimes Jack Kerouac
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
[Reese]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
We've been given superpowers (I once wanted to be famous)
Ask us for an autograph (Now I want to take it back)
We've been given superpowers (I once wanted to be famous)
Ask us for an autograph (Now I want to take it back)
[Reese]
Right now we're just going to bring it down a couple notches
Take it down for all of you
