EVERYONE’S A HERO IN THEIR OWN WAY
CAPTAIN HAMMER
It may not feel too classy
Begging just to eat,
But you know who does that? Lassie,
But she always gets a treat.
So you wonder what your part is,
‘Cause you’re homeless and depressed,
But home is where the heart is,
So your real home’s in your chest.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
Everyone’s got villains they must face.
They’re not as cool as mine,
But folks you know it’s fine
To know your place.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way,
In their own not-that-heroic way.
So I thank my girlfriend, Penny.
Yeah, we totally had sex.
She showed me there’s so many
different muscles i can flex.
There’s the deltoids of compassion.
There’s the abs of being kind.
It’s not enough to bash in heads,
You’ve got to bash in minds.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
Everyone’s got something they can do
Get up, go out, and fly,
especially that guy,
who smells like poo.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
You and you and mostly me and you.
I’m poverty’s new sheriff,
And I’m bashing in the slums
A hero doesn’t care if you’re
a bunch of scary alcoholic bums.
Everybody!
Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail.
Don’t worry if it’s hard.
If you’re not a friggin’ tard
You will prevail!
Everyone’s a hero in their own way.
Everyone’s a hero in the-
SLIPPING
DR HORRIBLE
Look at these people.
Amazing how sheep’ll
Show up for the slaughter.
No one condemning
You lined up like lemmings
You led to the water.
Why can’t they see what I see
Why can’t they hear the lies
Maybe the fees too pricey
For them to realize
Your disguise is slipping.
I think you’re slipping.
Now that your saviour
Is still as the grave you’re
Beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder
I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?
I bring you pain
The kind you can’t suffer quietly
Fire up your brain
Remind you inside your rioting society
Is slipping
Everything’s slipping away
So,
Go ahead, run away!
Say it was Horrible.
Spread the word, tell a friend.
Tell them the tale.
Get a pic. Do a blog.
Heroes are over it.
Look at him. Not a word.
Hammer meet nail!
Then i win, then I get
A great thing I ever…
All the cash, all the fame
And social change.
Anarchy, that i run.
It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn.
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn!
Burn!
spoken) Yeah, it’s two r’s, H-O-R-R, yeah, right.
Burn!
No sign of Penny.
Good, I would give anything
Not to have her see.
It’s gonna be bloody.
Head up, Billy-Buddy.
There’s no time for mercy.
Here goes no mercy!
DR. HORRIBLE IS HERE
DR HORRIBLE
Here lies everything
The world I wanted at my feet
My victory is complete
So hail to the king
(Everything you ever)
Arise and sing
So your world’s benign
So you think justice has a voice
And we all have a choice
Now your world is mine
(Everything you ever)
And I am fine
Now the nightmare’s real.
Now Dr. Horrible is here
To make you quake with fear,
To make the whole world kneel.
And i won’t feel-
-a thing.
