I would love to take a woman to dinner and a movie Maybe go out dancing show her the Bat Watusi But inevitably it always happens to me My date gets cut off short by the Joker and Harley Guess that's the way that it goes this is the life that I chose Break a criminal's nose yeah it helps with my woes When I'm in the Batmobile I crank Kiss from a Rose That song always makes me cry I wonder if Seal knows I’ve always wanted kids that’s why I took in Dick Grayson Had to stop after Jason Todd he tried to punch my face in Would love to meet a girl without a leather suit and claws Who isn’t into plants or taking up her father’s cause I know I seem angry but it’s just a mechanism Just ask Alfred I’ve got a sunny disposition It's not who I am but what I do that defines me And what I want to do is let the whole world see When people look at me who is it that they see Bruce Wayne the billionaire, a cowl wearing freak There's no escaping no matter how hard I try I want to show the lighter side of the dark knight Jim Gordon’s always flashing that Bat Signal in the sky When I'm crocheting pot holders and it's hard to deny That it’s hard to fight crime when your nerves are all fried So I watch a little lifetime have myself a good cry Bane wants to break my back Two Face is double wack Poison Ivy’s plants are phat wish my garden looked like that Riddler’s always leaving clues and Scarecrow is a fright Would like to have one day where I can have a game night When people look at me who is it that they see Bruce Wayne the billionaire, a cowl wearing freak There's no escaping no matter how hard I try I want to show the lighter side of the dark knight I’m not just Gotham’s dark Knight More than a man who fights crime A vigilante with a poets heart When Gordon hits that spotlight It brings a tear to my eye I was typecast right from the start

Ya know I think I might have an addiction A problem or maybe some kind of affliction Something that's been holding on to all my attention I've thought about it hard and maybe it's something I should mention The Roku and the Apple TV Never thought about them much but now they're a part of me Forget the blu ray player and the dvd's please. Don't need to mess with discs when there's a system of ease On a tablet a computer or cell phone There's so many ways to get your favorite movies or shows When the lights go out well the TV goes on And in the morning I keep asking where the time has gone Turn off the tv and go to bed I've got work in three hours what's wrong with my head Can't seem to let the remote control go And now my eyes won't Hard to believe there was ever a time If you missed it on tv then you would just have to whine Because a Charlie Brown Christmas was a tradition that stuck And if you weren't home to watch it you were just out of luck I own every season of Friends and Big Bang When I need a prime break I watch things that are strange Every now and then I feel like I've wasted my time When a movie like Bright doesn't live up to the hype I've bought a few movies that I still haven't seen Well if I'm being honest more like seventy three It's hard to catch up sometimes it feels like a chore To the point at times I don't wanna watch anymore Turn off the tv and go to bed I've got work in three hours what's wrong with my head Can't seem to let the remote control go And now my eyes won't If I could go back in time buy some Amazon Stock Stay at home watch the tube would be my only job That used to sound like an absolute dream Now I see it's not what it seemed It's hard to choose man there's so much to watch Might be time to take it down at least one notch Don't wanna end up with my brain all fried Because I binge watched Fringe or Once Upon a Time Turn off the tv and go to bed I've got work in three hours what's wrong with my head Can't seem to let the remote control go And now my eyes won't........Close

They say there was a time After the age of rhyme When two young Californians changed the way we live our lives Yeah they were metal heads Not what you'd call well read But held the power to transform a world that needed fed Bill Preston Esquire Ted Logan brought the fire But long ago our heroes found their situation dire To pass a school report They pulled a last resort Thanks to a new friend outside of a convenience store When Rufus told his tale They thought his words were stale Until they met their future selves and then they couldn't bail Some claim it's over done And just a lot of buzz I'm glad it was the two of them and not me because They're not just Myld Stallyns They're great ones changing history They're not just Myld Stallyns They've got a phonebooth time machine They're not just Myld Stallyns Hanging out with Freud and Socrates Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns What's the best place to start To go back just how far How about Austria and Napoleon Bonaparte This journey opened doors What if they brought back more Past figures throughout history would raise the score Way back to Athens Greece The old west D.C. Maybe go to England have a talk with Henry Beethoven jamming songs See Joan in Orléans The last stop Mongolia gotta pick up Genghis Khan They're not just Myld Stallyns They're great ones changing history They're not just Mild Stallyns They've got a phonebooth time machine They're not just Myld Stallyns Hanging out with Freud and Socrates Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns You know they're gonna win the day Something's a foot at the Circle K You know it's gonna be all right Do some chores then head to the mall tonight They staged a jail break There was so much at stake Sometimes your stepmom drops you off but hey that's okay Our heroes had the tools When they showed up at school But don't forget that San Dimas High School football rules They got a standing O For their report and so There's no chance of flunking heinously they're good to go If I can quote my brothers You should all tell each other Make sure you're all staying excellent to one another They're not just Myld Stallyns They're great ones changing history They're not just Myld Stallyns They're gonna do it musically They're not just Myld Stallyns Yeah they'll get better wait and see Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns Yeah they're not Myld Stallyns

Not long ago my life was so good Just playing blitzball whenever I could Sure I lived in the shadow of a man named Jecht But he was a great blitzer so I learned to accept One day a man came Auron was his name And with him sin came it would never be the same I got sucked out of Spira then met some Al Bhed Then sin came again and dropped me off in Besaid Met a dude named Wakka and Lulu the mage Kimhari who's a Ronso who I learned had some rage When Auron came around I thought that I could go back Bet he kept on dropping bombs always kept me off track That's when I met Yuna only wish I'd met her sooner At the first glance you know I almost was a swooner So I promised to guard her on land or on water My eyes finally opened the moment they caught hers I never knew I'd feel like this I've given in can't resist Cause something happened on the way to Zanarkand She's got me wrapped up tight in this These feelings I can't dismiss Cause something happened on the way to Zanarkand Had to deal with a guado named Seymour Fighting spawn from the sky to the seashore Summoners with their crazy unsent sin war If the fayth stop dreaming well then I'll be no more But that's the chance that I'm willing to take Cause there's so much more than just me at stake When this over it'll tear me apart The final Aeon is summoned and it'll be my heart Yunalesca you're my dream when I wake up you're all I see Yunalesca you're my dream when I wake When I wake up you're still all I see I never knew I'd feel like this I've given in can't resist Cause something happened on the way to Zanarkand She's got me wrapped up tight in this These feelings I can't dismiss Cause something happened on the way to Zanarkand

I've always felt I was a word smith But never thought that I was God's gift To hip hop rap or anything else I guess I've always felt my life was a gift unto itself Always had a hunger for a hook man Never had to learn it from a book man A good melody was like sugar and cream in coffee A catchy chorus as you're driving in your car Windows rolled down singing loud under bright stars (Friends are in the front seat, friends are in the back seat) That sounds familiar, hmmm back to the beat Spent countless hours writing words to all these songs Just hoping that you'd like them and maybe sing along Well here's your chance, just get up and dance Here comes the chorus, just let the words flow and I couldn't think of a chorus for this song I didn't want it to come out wrong So I put pen to paper and figured out how Just sing it right now, right now I guess I haven't found the write words Maybe it's just a little absurd To rap about having a superlative syntax yeah I guess I blew that Couple more chances left to change this Write a dope chorus first on my list Can't let myself get distracted, have my words get retracted Ummmm what was I saying oh yeah The way a song can talk you back to high school years Make you think of all the best times and the sad tears The prom, homecoming, how about the marching band Wait, that's cool right, we went to state Gotta get myself back on track Don't need everybody saying (He's so wack) You better get ready, gonna bring it full force You ready, here's another chorus I couldn't think of a chorus for this song I didn't want it to come out wrong So I put pen to paper and figured out how Just sing it right now, right now

Batman, Bill and Ted, Netflix, Final Fantasy X and my inability to write a chorus are all waiting to enter your ears and heart. Give it a try. You just might like it.
