Comeback Kid Lyrics

Comeback Kid lyrics

Freddy wants to be a cartoon superhero and he never goes outside  
His eyes are glued to the TV screen most every day and night  
S’not making friends at school, his parents have concerns  
But he always tunes in and tunes them out wishing one day he would get his turn
 
Freddy never ever studies and he’s proud of his straight C’s  
And chain smoking in the parking lot pretending to be James Dean  
Kids call him a freak and a weirdo and he won’t won’t amount to anything  
While psychologists get paid to analyze his anti-social tendencies  
Late one Saturday night drinking beer and getting high  
He got struck by lightening twice and decided to leave that life behind  
He always told me that one day he’d be king of the world  
And the weak and the meek shall inherit the earth  
Better check yourself and watch your step cause  
He’s the comeback kid...he’s coming back  
Now Freddy is a young shorthaired suit-wearing corporate middle manager  
Making $90,000 a year he keeps his wife knee-deep in pearls  
Seems he pulled it together and should be sitting pretty for life  
But staring out his hi-rise corner office window, he’s not feeling that
satisfied  
Then one Saturday night working late he started to sigh  
Where did the all the good times go, where’s that kid I used to know..  
He always told me that one day he’d be king of the world  
And the weak and the meek shall inherit the earth  
Better check yourself and watch your step cause  
He’s the comeback kid...he’s coming back  
Quit the job, leave the wife, and get a few tattoes  
Play guitar every night and start singing the blues  
He always told me that one day he’d be king of the world  
And the weak and the meek shall inherit the earth  
Better check yourself and watch your step cause  
He’s the comeback kid...he’s coming back, he’s making a comeback
