parody of Superman (Five For Fighting)

Supercell (Austin Che)

I can't stand to blink
I'm not natural
I'm just waiting to
See what I will become 

I'm more than E. coli... I'm more than a yeast.
More than some pretty fluorescent cell
I'm just a syn-thetic cell

Wish that I could add
Have some memory
Find a way to talk
With my neighbors just like me

It may sound absurd... but it will happen
Even bacteria can be engineered
I may only be uni-cellular... but 
Even bacteria have the right to dream
I'm just a syn-thetic cell

More and more parts...to be added
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not harmful...or dangerous...

I would love to toss
All my useless genes
Bacteria were meant to add
We can multiply and divide

I'm only a bacteria with a plasmid
Avoiding antibiotics on a petri dish
Only a cell with a bright green protein
Looking for more parts to make me better 
make me better...make me better 
make me better...make me better 

I'm only a cell with artificial genes
I'm only a cell looking to improve
I'm only a cell with artificial genes

I'm just a syn-wu.. hoo.. hoo..
I'm just a syn-thetic cell


Original:

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
inside of me ...... inside of me ...(x2)


I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for my dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet

It's not easy ... wu.. hoo.. hoo..
It's not easy to be me...
