There would be - A whole bunch of Spidermen,
Just as many Wonder Women and Wandas
And even more Black Panthers

There would be - Bruce Springsteens.
Michaels and Micks, Pauls ‘n’ Johns ‘n’ Georges
- And just one Ringo -

There would be - Sports stars galore
An abundance of philanthropic actors
- McConaugheys, Jolies and Pitts -

There would be - Nurses and firefighters
Twelve-year-old girls’ dads
And the select few painters and poets

If we would all be heroes, for twenty-four hours

For all those Spidermen, Spingsteens and sports stars
- And even the poets -
It would be the most boring day, because

There would be - no one left to be saved
