lyrics

Joe:
I found myself in the lowest state
and this I cannot over-state
when the doctors began to operate
my body began to compensate
found myself with a talent or two
found myself with a power I knew
not only came with a responsibility
but came with the need to prove
that I alone could save this Earth
that in time I could
make this work
if the ends justify the means
a nice guy
could learn
to finish first
and with the birth of strength and speed
I am the first of a whole new breed
Humanity, fear not for your need
for a hero ends with me, you're free.


John(Joe):
Pent up, too long
This town, needs dawn(You're Free)
rising, over
Gotham's shoulder(You're Free)
Here I, Step on
Their a-
gression(You're Free)
while I, lead my
revo-lution(You're Free)

John:
I saw justice
bleeding slowing
you just stood there
waiting for me
I can stop this
madman's manifest
destiny, if
you can believe.

John(Joe):
Pent up, too long
This town, needs dawn(Believe)
rising, over
Gotham's shoulder(In Me)
Here I, Step on
Their a-
gression(Believe)
while I, lead my
revo-lution(In Me)

Joe:
Villains will learn to fear the Name,
of the vigilante who conquered and came,
and turned around to rescue the dame
who's damsel in distress that would not be in vain
I'll put the P in pain, and start to tame
the dredges of society until the stains
thats soiled this city in soot for so long
come out and sever the unbreakable chain
call me the J-Train, next stop is Hell
which for you good sir is a tiny little cell
in a prison on an island overlooking New York
Enjoy your retirement, I wish you well.

John(Joe):
Pent up, too long
This town, needs dawn(Believe)
rising, over
Gotham's shoulder(In Me)
Here I, Step on
Their a-
gression(Believe)
while I, lead my
revo-lution(In Me)
