가사

Now when I was a young boy,
'bout the age of five
my teachers told me
I could be the greatest man alive
they told me I could change the world
be whatever I wanted to be
there was no one in the world like me
every one of us was so unique
I'd not be an average man
no sir, I'd be no average man
so I had those big dreams
and I had those big skills

and on the other was this meta-superhero I could be

maybe my head was small
the man who knows his place
may be the greatest man of all
I found freedom in obscurity
and purity in poverty
why try to be amazing in a world so saturated with amazingness?
it's blazing us
exhausting me,
I wonder what it's costed me,
the price I've paid for baby boomers
propping up my self-esteem,
I should let go of all these scripted, movie-lifted dreams
and seek solace in my species
as an average man
I'll pay admission like an average man
I'll raise a family like the average man
I'll rock the hairline of an average man
I'll binge on Netflix like an average man
I drop a remix like an average man
I crowd-source it like an average man
I'm hyperbolic like an average man
I only iterate like an...
