I'd fly around the world fighting crime, according to my awesome plan
(Those lines have the same riff)

Hurting other people and making them cry
[Verse Pt. C]
G A D A Bm
I'd haul them off to jail in my awesome van
G A D
'Cause I would be awesome man
(Just play a D chord during the speaking parts)
[Pt. A]
If I could be a superhero, I would be drug-free boy
Telling the world of the evils of drugs, and all of the lives they destroy
[Pt. B]
I'd take all the junkie-ies getting so high
With their needles and bongs and their sticks made of tai
[Pt. C]
I'd burn them alive as I squeal with joy
'Cause I would be drug-free boy
[Pt. A]
If I could be a superhero, I'd be immigration dude
I'd send all the foreigners back to their homes for eating up all of our food
[Pt. B]
And taking our welfare and best jobs to boot
like landscaping, dish-washing, picking our fruit
[Pt. C]
I'd pass alot of laws to get rid of their brood
'Cause I'd be immigration dude
(Play a D again)
[Pt. A]
If I could be a superhero, would you be Justice Guy
Making sure people get what they deserve, especially women who lie
[Pt. B]
Like if a wife left her husband with three kids and no job
And ran off to f---ing hawaii with some doctor named "Bob"
[Pt. C]
You'd skin them and drain them of blood 'till they die...especially Bob
Then you would be justice guy
[Pt. B]
Or you could be more subtle, I didn't mean to be vague
Give her the mad cow disease, Let him die of the plague
[Pt. C]
As long as they suffered for their terrible lie...especially Bob
Yes then you would be justice guy
G A

G A
A superhero like
