Written for Spintunes #1 Round 1: Write a song from the perspective of a superhero.

lyrics

this wasn't really in the 5 year plan
lying on a cold examination table
intently observed by some man I've never seen before

he's got an eyepatch and a scar on his lip
I forget his name, but it sounded Russian
the pitch sounded pretty good, this superhero schtick
but you'll forgive me if it suddenly doesn't

my arms and legs are lashed down
well I suppose some flailing would be normal
that needle's really quite large
I hope they're being careful with that thing

Mom and Dad said "son you can have anything you want"
Now I've got the strength to lift an car and a gun that shoots 'round corners
If that redheaded nurse from pre-op could only see me now
there's a chance I wouldn't bore her
all I wanted was the nerve to Finish a Fight
now these crazy scientist guys are pumping me full of nanites

this isn't what was planned
but I guess it's how it's gonna go down
the few the proud, really the only man
in the Elite Recon Soldier Program
