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?
