Superpowers Songtext
von Five Iron Frenzy

Bacon bits and jalapeños
On my polish hot dog
Half a pound of potato chips
And a beef jerky log
Press my face to the window
Wrapper sticks to my shirt
Eight people in a stinky van
A couple more couldn′t hurt

Eat some food off the floor
I've developed a taste for bread mold
Ride around in a van
Don′t take
A shower for six weeks and

We've been given superpowers
Ask us for an autograph
We sing (we dance)
We'll make (you laugh)
Don′t you want to be like us?


Everyone in the band can′t stand me
Just because I fell off the stage
And kind of by accident
I broke the promoter's legs
Sometimes we have a deadline
For writing our songs
Five minutes left to write this one
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la

Sleep in a sleeping bag
Every floor looks the same as last night
You wake up
You drive
You play a show and then you sleep again

We′ve been given superpowers
Ask us for an autograph
We sing (we dance)
We'll make (you laugh)
Don′t you want to be like us?

We've been given superpowers
Ask about our rock and roll
Our hair (our clothes)
Hobbies (and pets)
Does he have a girlfriend yet?


I sometimes feel I′m Holden Caufield
Sometimes Jack Kerouac
I wanted to be famous
Now I want to take it back
Don't want to rock the mic
Don't want to meet the pope
I just want to share with you
How we got this peace and hope

We′ve been given superpowers (I wanted to be famous)
Ask us for an autograph (Now I want to take it back)
We′ve been given superpowers (I wanted to be famous)
Ask us for an autograph (Now I want to take it back)
