It's A Bird! Who Cares?

This song showed up on Drawn Together, and I got an urge to listen to it, and then I realize I don't have it, so I decided to look up the lyrics. Enjoy.

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me

And then I got the weirdest thought... Whenever Superman shows up, you always see people shouting. "Look! Up in the sky!" "It's a bird!" "No, it's a plane!" "No! It's Superman!" Or something like that. What's up with the idiots shitting their pants over birds and planes? "Oh no, Lex Luthor has some sort of doomsday device! But don't worry, we'll be saved by that bird!" I suppose Metropolis really was hard up for help before Clark Kent moved in.

Speaking of Clark Kent, what's up with all the alliterative superhero secret identities?

Clark Kent ------- Superman
Matt Murdock --- Daredevil
Peter Parker ---- Spiderman
Bruce Banner --- The Hulk
Wally West ------ The Flash
Reed Richards -- Mr. Fantastic
Sue Storm ------- Invisible Woman
J'onn J'onzz ------ The Martian Manhunter

I'm sure there are more, but you get the point. Also, what's with this disturbing trend?

Lana Lang -- Clark Kent's girlfriend youthful in Smallville
Lois Lane -- Clark Kent/Superman's girlfriend/wife
Lex Luthor - ??????????????????

It may just be a coincidence, but in the Teen Titan's comic book, Superboy is a human/Kryptonian hybrid clone combining the DNA of Superman and Luthor. O_O!

Oh yeah, and then there was this thing that came to me while watching Daredevil today:

Elektra Nachios (to Matt Murdock): The only reason I dressed up like this tonight was for you.

Me (to Matt Hill): So, she's retarded?

Mmmmm..... Nachios...
