Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly 
dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out 
of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, 
lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a Superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, 
phone bills
I'm such a wreck but I'm staying 
alive

[Look in the paper, what do I see,
Robbery, violence, insanity.]

Hey girl we've got to get out of 
this place
There's got to be something better 
than this
I need you, but I hate to see you 
this way
If I were Superman then we'd fly 
away
I'd really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it's in
I'm too weak, I'm so thin
I'd like to fly but I can't even 
swim

Superman Superman I want to fly like
 Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly 
like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly 
like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like 
Superman
Superman Superman I want to fly like
 Superman
