about

With a growing fanbase, and what he thinks is a good enough resume, Bruceman applies to become a new member at his favorite Superhero guild.

lyrics

Narrator:
Enemies have been defeated, fans have been gained!
And with an audience of over 9,000 online, Bruceman faces his toughest challenge yet!
Applying for a job at the League.

League Guardian:
You walk in here,
Like you own the show,
All hyped up,
And ready to go,
Wanna save the day,
But do you really know,
What it takes to be a true hero.

Show me your reference,
And credentials,
Can’t work with the best,
If you don’t have those,
This is the big time,
We fight real foes,
Don’t make me laugh,
You’re not a pro.

You think you’re ready,
You think you’re ready,
You’re wrong!
You’re not ready!
You think you’re ready,
You think you’re ready,
You’re wrong!
You’re not ready (For the big time!)

You’re not ready!
You’re not ready!

You think you’re ready,
I don’t see how,
Life’s not a game,
Time to grow up now,
Step right up,
You’ll get knocked down,
Just shut up and listen!

So full of yourself,
You just can’t see,
The superhero,
You pretend to be,
You’re not ready for,
Responsibility,
You’re not ready, you’re not ready for the big time!

You wanna be the best?
Well get in line,
It’s not that easy,
To wipe out crime,
Half-rate heroes,
need not apply,
Get out of my face,
Quit wasting our time.

Go back home,
And just resign,
You’re shooting for the stars,
With an aim too high,
Give it a rest,
Your fame’s a lie,
Now please vacate,
Better Luck Next time.

Bruceman:
What is this MADNESS? Are you for real? Oh! It's a joke! Ha Ha Ha! You've got a super sense of humor.

League Guardian:
Joking? Your ego is suffocating! There is more to being a hero than having super strength and a fan club. But that look on your face... You still don't get it, do you? Your credentials are not what we're looking for, and your skills lack refining. How would that make the rest of us look? Get your head out of the clouds, kid. Your pompousness is going to get you killed. Or worse!

Now listen up!

You think you’re ready,
I don’t see how,
Life’s not a game,
Time to grow up now,
Step right up,
You’ll get knocked down,
Just shut up and listen!

So full of yourself,
You just can’t see,
The superhero,
You pretend to be,
You’re not ready for,
Responsibility,
You’re not ready, you’re not ready for the big time!
