No One Likes Superman Anymore Lyrics
Strong hands, strong mind
Strong all the time
Straightforward and kind
Too simply defined
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind
(Don't touch that dial)
It's just that goodness is out of style)
Be dark, be cold (so conflicted)
No hand to hold (heart constricted)
Dark Knight, bright soul (we're addicted)
No room here for the bold
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind
And what if he can fly?
Hey, well so can I
Jet Blue or United Airlines
And who cares if he's strong
All we see's the wrong we've done
Reflected in his eyes
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we
don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind
Strong all the time
Straightforward and kind
Too simply defined
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind
It's just that goodness is out of style)
No hand to hold (heart constricted)
Dark Knight, bright soul (we're addicted)
No room here for the bold
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind
Hey, well so can I
Jet Blue or United Airlines
And who cares if he's strong
All we see's the wrong we've done
Reflected in his eyes
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we
don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

I think it's a bit more complex than that. It holds superman as the symbol of innocent childhood. It confronts the tendency in most people to turn away from that which reminds them of what they were and what they lost, noting that "goodness is out of style." People don't like Superman because he's too good and reminds them of the bad they do in comparison.
This song is amazing- it's pretty much just satirical, IFD likes Superman of course (One of their "logos" is a rendition of Superman's) I would recommend buying their CD, it is incredibly beautiful.
I agree with depricated. Although Jessicahaligh isn't wrong on the satirical factor, or that they like Superman. They seem to love retro, which is cool in a geeky way.
