Gil Scott-Heron - Ain't No Such Thing As Superman lyrics

You have understood The riddles of the ages Yes and you have understood The universal nine You have placed your footprints on The everlasting sands of time Yes so tell me why Can't you understand that there ain't no such thing as a superman? There ain't no such thing as a superman You was on the Nile You went to see great Egypt fall It fell down to the ground Yes, and you was out there on the corner When being cool went blind Oh, you alone understand that if we gonna win We've got to get together, stay together, be together, stick together So tell me why, can't you understand That there ain't no such thing as a superman There ain't no such thing as a superman You alone consider mercy after it seems like all you get is pain It seem to me that you have found the courage that others could not find You alone have the wisdom to take this world and make it what it need to be, want to be, will be, someday you'll see The day, the day you understand That there ain't no such thing as a superman There ain't no such thing as a superman
