Abercrombie - Comeback Kid lyrics

rate me

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
