So much for superheroes saving the day; Every good guy's epilogue is a cliche. Tedious compulsory celebrations For all their mundane actions. A villain's portrayal is what excites me. Ever since a kid I could already see; Creativity in all those gimmicks, Geniuses of ***** tactics. It is never easy to become the antagonist. The object of all hate and blacklist; The one that is destined to fail, To fulfill a comic's holy grail. Yet the bad guys do most of the heavy work, Perfecting their schemes with an evil smirk; But every time they're about to win, The plot will smash their plan to ruins. They say some people are destined to be heroes; It's a fate preordained a long time ago. But the truth is that everyone needs a villain, To finally uncover their life's meaning. What the world generally calls as criminals, In reality are just misunderstood equals. They taught me more about the cruel life, Better than any superhero's strife.

I Grew Up Rooting for the Bad Guys
So much for superheroes saving the day; Every good guy's epilogue is a cliche. Tedious compulsory celebrations For all their mundane actions. A villain's portrayal is what excites me. Ever since a kid I could already see; Creativity in all those gimmicks, Geniuses of ***** tactics. It is never easy to become the antagonist. The object of all hate and blacklist; The one that is destined to fail, To fulfill a comic's holy grail. Yet the bad guys do most of the heavy work, Perfecting their schemes with an evil smirk; But every time they're about to win, The plot will smash their plan to ruins. They say some people are destined to be heroes; It's a fate preordained a long time ago. But the truth is that everyone needs a villain, To finally uncover their life's meaning. What the world generally calls as criminals, In reality are just misunderstood equals. They taught me more about the cruel life, Better than any superhero's strife.
