A/N: I may have referenced some superhero-related things here. Possibly. However, I do not own these things.


Welcome to DC- ain't it marvelous?

Felled by the fury in a worn-down metropolis,

I can't remember when I knew it by name,

but the power in this place is a lunatic's game.

Eyes on the prize, it's a three-sided coin

going straight to your head with sly technicality.

Hands on the bandwidth, everyone join

'cause we're all superheroes in our own reality.

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one there

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one who cares

I try to defend it, but what's the use there

when only the plaintiff ever wins?

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one there

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one who cares

I'm saving the world save the ones who don't bear

with my superhero morality.

Welcome to the world of crimson and blue,

where the webs are verbose and vile.

We were killing our kids when our conscience slid

and we buried our sins for a while.

So here come the sons and daughters of the dirty work,

the break in our stark silence.

Stock violence for a benign new age,

Rage in the banners they fly.

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one there

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one who cares

I try to defend it, but what's the use there

when only the plaintiff ever wins?

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one there

It's come back to haunt me, I'm the only one who cares

I'm saving the world save the ones who don't

bear with me until they die.

Is there a hero out there who would stand for me

if I never took a stand for you?

Is there a hero out there who would take my hand

if I sanded down the truth?

And when the mask falls off and the cape is gone,

what do you think we'll see?

When the mask falls off and the lights turn on,

what do you think we'll be?

We're all superheroes in our own reality.
