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
