Lyrics
SUPERMAN | by Dana Fuchs
Shut down the sugar plum fairies – nobody’s waking up in Disney Land
Burn up the notice from the landlord – a house is on fire in no man’s land

Shut up the loud-mouth babies – roaches on the table shouldn’t make them scream
Tear down their papa’s little playground of whiskey in the cupboard and a magazine

You can’t take no prisoners they’re all in jail
Chompin’ at the bit chewin’ on nails
Sell your lies to the boy in a suit
Cuz Superman left us at the voting booth

Shut down the breathing tube – application been denied by the new boss man
Toss a pill to that widow for her heartache – you got to pay to breathe in the Promise Land

(chorus)

Tuck in your babies with care now they’re waking up at dawn, shippin’ out as men
Pack a bag full of all your prayers now luck is in the draw who’s comin’ back again

Go on and pluck strange fruit from a tree – someone else’s kill, you left him to rot
Uproot another world for peace to leave a mama with a hero that we all forgot
Another mama with a hero the world forgot

You can’t take no prisoners they’re all in jail
Tell that lady with the briefcase she can go right back to your hell
You been buyin’ your lies from a man in a suit
Because superman left us at the voting booth

Oh I don’t know why he did
I don’t know why he did but he did what he did yeah

(Rant of: The Lord’s Prayer; Act of Contrition; Hail Mary)

Where’s all the men where’s all the men where’s all the men
Whatcha mean whatcha mean whatcha mean ...
Let’s all fall apart together Let’s fall apart so nicely
