about

After rejection from the League of Extraordinary Superdoers, Bruceman trains hard to get his body back in shape.

lyrics

They said that I’m not ready,
They said I’m not good enough,
They said my belly’s too flabby,
They said I should give up.
Maybe they’re right about me,
That I’m not right for this hero stuff.
Maybe I should’ve listened,
But I’d rather call their bluff.

I’ll give them a real hero,
I’ll show them I’m good enough,
It’s time that I changed for the better,
It’s time that I measured up.

Love handles and apple pies,
It’s time for me to say goodbye,
I’m sick of being super-sized,
A hero, I’ll be born, anew!

One million push-ups,
Then ten million more,
I’ll be chugging wheat grass,
Until I hit the floor.
I’ll reclaim my glory,
No giving up anymore,
Working Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,
Than I ever had before!

I’ll become a real hero,
One sauna at a time,
I’ll give them more than they asked for,
And no longer be their punch line.

Pumping lead and eating right,
For the sake of justice, I keep up the fight,
My destiny I will re-write,
A hero, I’ll be born, anew!
