Gil Scott-heron Ain't No Such Thing As Superman
You have understood
The riddles of the ages
Yes and you have understood
The universal nine
You have placed your footprints on
The everlasting sands of time
Yes so tell me why
Can't you understand that there ain't no such thing as
a superman?
There ain't no such thing as a superman
You was on the Nile
You went to see great Egypt fall
It fell down to the ground
Yes, and you was out there on the corner
When being cool went blind
Oh, you alone understand that if we gonna win
We've got to get together, stay together, be together,
stick together
So tell me why, can't you understand
That there ain't no such thing as a superman
There ain't no such thing as a superman
You alone consider mercy after it seems like all you
get is pain
It seem to me that you have found the courage that
others could not find
You alone have the wisdom to take this world and make
it what it need to be, want to be, will be, someday
you'll see
The day, the day you understand
That there ain't no such thing as a superman
There ain't no such thing as a superman
