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
