I'm fed up of this
Batman in DC never got any of this
Gotham City huh?
What about the real City?
You think a couple of overweight blue suits
will protect us?
You're wasting our money

Couple of blocks down the street
Some woman's knocked of her feet
They're stealing her cash
Stealing her cash
What can I do?
Watch.
Watch the cops try to run fifty metres to get him

I'm thinking "What did Bruce Wayne do?"
But I ain't a billionaire
I'm broke
I ain't got any superpowers
I don't even have the guts
Sure I'm a black belt
Sure I have 200 lbs of steel in me
But this ain't the dojo or the gym
This is a guy who doesn't care about the rules

But that's the thing
The cops do
They'll excercise restraint (more than they do in the gym)
What restraint does he show?
He mugged a weaker person
He doesn't care about the coppers

I may be no Bruce Wayne
But I have the tools
I'll replace these fools
I'm broke remember? What life have I got to lose?
Prison's a better apartment than what I got
Let's do this I say to myself

Next day
I see the same man and the same woman
But with different faces and identities
To me, they remind me of that night
This past few months is a day in my life
I've been training harder and meaner
Faster and stronger and leaner
Wearing my mask
I beat him unconcious
Give the cash back
She should say thank you
Instead she walks off

The bad guy unconcious but breathing
I'm concious and breathing
That's a huge difference no?
The cops don't think so.
I'm the bad guy
I mercilessly assualted an innocent citizen just 'borrowing' money
Yeah. So he innocently beat her?
But I get to move apartments
That ain't too bad, I guess.

I'm labelled a vigilante.
But that's just a way of saying I deserve to rot in jail.
They say I should've been normal
Like Everyone. Normal?
How can I be normal? I tried that.
Guess what happened? Nothing.
That's how I'm treated.
But they love Batman. They just hate me.
They love it in fiction but not reality.

I hate being normal. Why would I want mediocrity?
That's just a term for people who haven't achieved. But it's celebrated?
Yet when I extend that I get punished?
The prosecution lawyer is the girl I saved
She accuses me of "Vigilante Justice"
Since when is justice a crime?

My point is that you have potential to be super but apparantly that's illegal so don't try.
Mediocrity is how you get on the money stealer's side.
