I'm the Metropolis Kid
You already know what it is
The son was blessed with the gift
Can't help but do it so big
I live in the shade of the greatest
To heed the call
One day my seat will be waiting
I'll save you all
But I don't do this for press
No girl how dare you suggest
Then again you have to confess
You love that S on my chest
And you can try to deny that the Kid is so fly
I don't need no x-ray vision to read your mind
I'm the Metropolis Kid
You already know what it is
The son is blessed with the gift
Can't help but do it so big
I built a name, a reputation
I let the primary colors fade
I let my fists end my confrontations
And I don't care what you say
I got buildings to leap
Worlds to break in my sleep
No more Smallville lessons
No need for keepin the peace
No no no capes darlin' I
Shatter the rules and defy
I don't need no x-ray vision to read your
I'm the Metropolis Kid
Jumpstart my alien heart
And put me into the plan
Perhaps they filled in the gaps
With a helix they don't understand
Will I ever get the chance to be my own man?
