    I wrote the framework for this song a few years back as an acoustic number with no lyrics. We turned into an electrified rock song and I dug up some lyrics I had written a few weeks back. Turns out they fit each other very nicely! Basically the song is a message to people in my life to "Get off my back!" Sometimes people are always trying to push you into things you don't want to do and this tune addresses that.

    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote the framework for this song a few years back as an acoustic number with no lyrics. We turned into an electrified rock song and I dug up some lyrics I had written a few weeks back. Turns out they fit each other very nicely! Basically the song is a message to people in my life to "Get off my back!" Sometimes people are always trying to push you into things you don't want to do and this tune addresses that. At the time of this recording, Jeremy had been playing bass and I'd been playing guitar live so we decided to do it that way in the studio as well. I played the main rhythm and solo and then Jeremy came in and added another guitar to fatten up the sound and to add some fills. It sounds pretty good as is but looking back, I wish I had re-done the vocals. Alas, we were pressed for time and money so we let it go. Eventually, we will re-record it and make it sound 100% better!

    Lyrics
    Superman
    © 1996 Thought Provoking Music, BMI

    Verse 1:
    No, I won't fly with you tonight
    It's not that I think that it's not right
    While I'm sure it's just fine for you
    Don't open that door I'm not walking through

    That path I chose not to follow
    you're road not taken I know
    But I've seen your scene in life and in dreams
    and my heart just keeps saying no

    Chorus:
    Hey I'm just a man
    I get hurt too
    I'm not bulletproof
    Got no suit of blue

    Verse 2:
    Sometimes you're romantic
    Sometimes just pathetic
    Behind your value system
    Hides the hypocrites

    Some say stand and fight
    Some say run away
    There's no such thing as justice
    It's all revenge and hate

    Repeat Chorus

    Solo

    Repeat Chorus

    Repeat Verse 1

    Repeat Chorus
