I think there's an error in the lyrics. In the booklet, it says the line is "even though your life was wasted, doesn't mean that I should SAVE it" not 'say'
anyway, this song is a really cool example of uncle Ben's "With great power comes great responsibility" teaching. It got me thinking, what incentive does Superman have to save people? he, in all reality, could just "sit at home [and] watch TV."
it also puts the question to you, if you were Superman, would you do the same as the comic book hero? "Would you use your powers for good, or for awesome?" (quote from Strong Bad) or would you do evil things? or would you just not do anything, become a Republican, and let life happen to other people?
