Alan Moore does have a sheen of class. He's a smart guy, and I'm sure there was a metaphoric level, I'm not denying that, but let's face it. the main reason he was doing a super-hero comic was because he was working for a super-hero comic book company.

Super Hero (for Jake)
Hi, my name is Jake. You might have heard of me, I am a super hero.
You probably find it hard to believe, but it is true, just the same.
I save my sister Kylie, from disaster, at least three times a day.
I am six, and Kylie is almost one year old. That is why, she does not know,
What not to do. And she does not do, as she is told.
Yes, it is a hard job being a big brother, super hero. Kylie, needs a super hero around all the time.
So, she won’t stick her fingers, where they do not belong. I always show up in the nick of time.
I save her from disaster, time, after time, and teach her why, we say no.
Yes, I am a super hero, to Kylie, smart and wise it is true.
I wonder, when I am at school, who keeps her safe?
Is mom a super hero, too?

Everything Is Kiling Me....
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

Working Class Hero
As soon as you're born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so f***ing crazy you can't follow their rules.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still f***ing peasants as far as I can see.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill.
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

Give us what U give your brothers then U'll understand
I won't be your super hero till U give us all U can

[Chorus:]
I will be your super hero
But U must understand
If I'm 2 be your super hero

There's so much I can and will and wanna do
But I cannot until I get through 2 U

Comic Books
Long before I was 12 I would read by myself.
Archie, josie, super-heroes.
I would read them by myself.
I had the stars on my wall.
14 was a gas for me.
Batman on tv.
I would cheer the super-heroes.
They were all I wanted to be.
I had the stars on my wall.
18 I was guaranteed.
I would lose my teenage dream.
But its so funny how I got to look.
Like all the people in my comic books.
Now Im a star on my wall.
Comic books.
Comic books.
Comic books.

Little Super Hero
Hey little super hero
With your batmobile parked right beside your bed
And teddy on the pillow by your head
You think I can beat up superman
And do lots of things that no one can
That I'm everything a dad is supposed to be
Son don't ever think that you have to be like me
Hey little super hero
Somebody said a man's not supposed to cry
And feel ashamed for being scared I don't know why
We're supposed to laugh in the face of danger
And be brave as the lone ranger
But little buddy, that just ain't where it's at
Don't ever think that you have to be like that
Hey little super hero
I guess it doesn't make much sense right now
But I'm trying to make you understand somehow
You'll be a better man by far
If you be just who you are
And be honest in the things you say and do
This world will be a better place for you
Hey little super hero
I guess it's time for me to say goodnight
In my heart I know you're going to be all right
I'll always try to guide you
And kill the fears inside you
Help you out in any way I can
Cause sometimes it ain't easy being a man

Keeps his hands in his mouth

Hates himself more and more

Working Class Hero
(alan jackson/don sampson)
A callused right hand
Holds a shiny gold watch
For thirty years spent on the clock
But you wont see no tears
>from this workin class hero
Hes always been hard as a rock
But he knows hes too old
To really start over
Besides he just wouldnt know how
I guess hes just glad
That hes not alone
But hes got to wonder what now
cause theres no hall of fame for that working class hero
No statute carved out of stone
And his greatest reward is the love of a woman
And his children
So after hes gone
That old working class hero lives on
That three-bedroom house
He built in the 50s
Seems so much bigger today
With just him and mama
And not many bills
cause all of the kids moved away
What hes done with his life
Might not be remembered
But hes got every right to be proud
cause the blood sweatin years
Of this workin class hero
Is really what livins about
cause theres no hall of fame for that working class hero
No statute carved out of stone
And his greatest reward is the love of a woman
And his children
So after hes gone
That old workin class hero lives on
Yes, that workin class hero lives on
That workin class hero lives on

Love at first sight
Wasted the time
In choosing the impossible
Among the figments of imaginations
The most capable
My super hero
Mind said right
First time first sight
The soul felt
Dykes broke
All the doors opened
All the roads met
The rivers flowed
Hope danced on the floor
The breath stopped
My super hero
Fist time said hello
Ears melted immediately
With the melodious song
The heart took a loud bang
First time first sight
Responded with a hello
To my super hero

(Excerpt From) The Jaycees Speech
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer.
I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I
was the hero in the movie.So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred
times. These gentlemen over there, these are the type who care, are dedicated.
You realize if its not possible that they might be building the kingdom,
its not far-fetched from reality. Id like to say that I learned
very early in life that:
'Without a song the day would never end
Without a song a man aint got a friend
Without a song the road would never bend
Without a song...'
So I keep singing a song.
Good night.
Thank you.

A Hero?
Her hero is pretty and thin
Her hero is a hero to many
A hero of fame and a hero of fortune
A role model, a hero of glamour
Her hero is a hero to many
His hero is fit and fast
His hero is a hero to many
A hero of sport, a hero of games
A role model, a hero of victory
His hero is a hero to many
Her hero is clever yet plane
Her hero is a hero to few
A hero of science, a hero of logic
A role model, a hero of knowledge
Her hero is a hero to few
His hero is a hero of art but he is poor
His hero is a hero to few
A hero of word a hero of writings
A role model, a hero of language
His hero is a hero to few
But that’s the thing with your heros....
Hero worship is only skin deep.

On Eagles Wings
I don't have super powers
I am not made out of steel
I cannot leap over towers
And a bullet wound I feel
A cape I do not own
And a mask I do not wear
I am not at all well known
Though my breed is very rare
I do not have angels wings
But from heaven I did come
I came not from a line of kings
But miracles I have done
A super hero I am
Though no powers I possess
For I am just a man
I soldier nothing less
An American Soldier fighting
A super hero indeed
On wings of choppers riding
To fight for what we need
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

My one and only hero
My hero is the best
He is better than all the rest
My hero doesn’t like to admit
That he is my hero when he dose his little bit
My hero has love and respect
Even he is my prime subject
My hero is always on my mind
Even though he is smart and kind
My hero has a special name
But I can’t tell you it cause it would put him in shame
My hero loves to pull a trick
He is not smart no is he very thick?
My hero makes me smile even though I feel crying
He says 'I will always love you even though I am dyeing'
A Hero To Me
You'll always be my my hero
no matter what you do
You don't need any flashy entrance
your sexyness already puts me in a trance
You don't need a costume
only in our bedroom
You'll play the hero and I'll be the villian
haha baby too much helpin'
We'll be like the Incredibles or the couple from Fanastic Four
our super hero babies..so hardcore
You'll never be zero espeacially not to me
I know you'll love being the hero..won't you Freddy?

I understand u need me if u ever 2 war
But I dont understand if I buy the goods
Why I cant own the store
Dont tell me that I am not worthy
After 400 years overtime

Why cant it be mine
I am just as good as u or any kind
And theres so much I can
And will and want 2 do
But I cannot until I get through 2 u

Superheroes
Everyone seems to want their own superman
Or wonderwoman, but no-one is willing
To be the hero; the one in the spotlight
Saving the world from the villain's killings
If we're not willing to be a hero ourselves
What gives us the right to want one?
Before we ask for a super-villain or hero
We should consider which one we've become
