The Lyrics
Oh, it's just so stock (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), oh, Lord
Seen it play out, seen it play out ev'ry day, yeah (seen it play out ev'ry day, shit)
Oh-oh-oh, God, oh-oh-oh-oh
Change, what I need
Been beatin' up villain types all night and all day (all day)
They don't know where I'll show up? Then it's all great (it's all great)
But they've caught on to a tactic, now it's just all pain (all pain)
I should be mad but I'm not, hate to jump through the whole pane, yeah (the whole pane)
Pun is appallin', I get that but my head is swarmin'
With the headaches that somehow are formin' from all of the constant jumps off of the awnin'
And through solid glass, all of it dropped on the floor, hazard that I'm not wantin' my ass to be facin'
Mean that in a literal sense, if I'm trippin', that's shards in my bottom, that's not so fun, trust me
I can't have criminals mock me by takin' time out to un-glass my butt, please
That's assumin' that I bust clean right through the goddamn window, just go splat like a bug, geez
Manage to roll off before anybody below me can spot me
Hate it, so many chances for mockery, why did I bother? I've not been unlucky
The first couple weeks I decided to do it, it all went so easy, real breezy
But now it's gone diff'rent, it's a problem, what's goin' on with me?
Pretty hard to switch up when you haven't been botchin' at all, bad time for muscle mem'ry
Thought I'd abandoned the envy of those heroes with powers a-plenty
I can't phase through the wall or go teleport-crazy, if I could, I wouldn't look silly
When I get to the site and sit on the ceilin' with no windows conveniently
Wait, shit, for me that's more inconveniently
I can't get out my thoughts sharp and quickly, with reworkin' my plans, I'm too busy
Skylights are made to smash, it looks dramatic, man
Gain the advantage of surprise, which is lovely, the rest of it? Wow, it bugs me
I won't be pausin' (pausin') crime-stoppin' (crime-stoppin') simply because I have a pretty big problem
With how I gain the drop upon their hides, must work around the damn skylight, skylight
All sucks but honestly, I could just let it slide
If I had confidence in my mind if it still granted me real surprise
But now their guns are aimed right where my entrance is, kinda not bulletproof, by the by
Been thinkin' real hard, must catch 'em unawares, corpse from the ceilin' is not advised
Your eyebrows are now raisin' steadily (poppin' up), obvious choice is ahead of me (like, obvs)
They got the roof covered heavily (lockin' up)? There's other spots ordinarily (straight up)
Standard-ass windows could really work, pop out the fireplace merrily (like Claus)
Hell, you wanna shock 'em contrarily (real shock)? Just open the front door, they'd never be (straight up)
The sort to think that a fear-strikin' hero would just voluntarily (poppin' up)
Walk through the door like they're just there to bring in the mail, must be accidentally (poppin' up)
And to be honest, the more that this tangent goes on, the more incrementally (grows strong)
My will to try it out grows, enemies (so dumb) of mine overcorrect readily (keeps on poppin' up, poppin' up)
All of 'em manage to put in their memory
That I smash windows up high customarily, they got that area covered especially
Once they've twigged to front doors, treat 'em carefully
Then I'll be free to deal with their felonies with my old method and I'll do it readily
Skylights are made to smash, my fav'rite part, true fact
Kinda my problematic fave, don't judge me, the parts I hate now still suck, please
I'm only pausin' (pausin') glass-poppin' (glass-poppin') 'till all my foes forget from where I'll be comin'
There is a reason stock tropes still survive, worked then and now, the damn skylight, skylight
