lyrics

the big bad bear was everywhere,
things were so much simpler
back then...
The lines were drawn and Tony Blair
was nothing but a baby
in his pen...
And you ruled my sky
with words that seemed so right,
you promised the Truth...
The red, white and blue
Came alive in you...
only you...
Now... Superman is dead...

The elephant stepped on the mule-
he’ll do anything to rule
and we just stood and let him do
as he pleased-
we still believed
that Superman would rule the day,
treason would find a way-
I still had faith...
But Superman never showed up,
he stayed home that day,
cowered in bed...
Now... Superman is dead...
he’s dead and gone…

(I) woke up this morning only to find
my faith was gone
and I was blind;
I chose to see only the lies
That the elephant had fed me
in disguise...
Well, Superman has dissapeared
inside all of us,
the elephant has crushed
the very freedom we revered
shame on us...
shame on ME!

Now... Superman is dead...
