He has a mind that bends a steel,
but he does not care for what you feel.
In this world that's so unkind,
he is one of a kind.
He is one who does things with his mind.
You could hardly tell what he hides from behind.
Behind his mystic grin,
you don't know what lies within.
He could toss things without touching.
Unlike a tiger, you can't even see him crouching.
He is strong, as he is brave.
Though, at times, he is grave.
He's both a hero and a villain.
He fights for his world to break out from its chain.
He is the gap between light and darkness.
His end could justify his harshness.

Seems like I'm falling
in love
with Bat-Girl
Don't ask me how this happened
Women in costumes
appeal to me
Not long ago I hugged a woman
in a cat costume
Comic book dreams
coming through once more
Green Lantern, Magneto and
the reat
are competing with me
for the love of
a costumed woman
I think that "love steeers the star"
Fantasy women are sometimes
easier to deal with than real ones

I stand alone
Forever growing hunger, impatience
Magneto reception lends her hand to man
Hear my song

Like magneto of marvel comics
locked away
Charle Manson has made his escape
How did you do it?
How did you get innocent to kill for you?
Now he sits there in a cell writing memoirs for the government
Now he sits there on camera
with the government
wrapped around his pinky finger
School shootings
and going out of your way to the wrong wars
How else do you get people to kill for you?
they as and study and prodded the genius.....
How else do you get people to fight and stab and gouge and surrender
their free will to insanity
And now everyone at the top reads his books
analyses his ramblings
sings along to the songs written about him
and they know for truly
he is a humbled god
Those tragedys of school shootings
of psychologically tormented children with guns
scared and thrown away with no other way out
was a government success
or was it?
wrapped around the pinky finger of a genius
the guards the politicians
the musicians
the philosophers the poets
the teenagers the parents
the martyrs
The success of his tragedy!
