Captain Hero feat. the People of Los Angeles
"Everyone's a Hero"
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Act 3
You know what? I don't need tiny cue cards.
When I fell deeply in love with my serious, long-term girlfriend, Penny-
Wave your hand, Penny-
*sporadic applause*
There she is! Cute, huh? Sort of a quiet, nerdy thing- not my usual- but nice.
Anyway, she turned me on to this whole- homeless thing- which is terrible.
And I realized, I'm not the only hero in this room tonight. I'm not the only one fighting.
It may not feel too classyBegging just to eat
But you know who does that? Lassie
And she always gets a treat
So you wonder what your part is
Because you’re homeless and depressed
But home is where the heart is
So your real home’s in your chest
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone’s got villains they must face
They’re not as cool as mine
But folks you know it’s fine to know your place
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
In their own not-that-heroic way
So I thank my girlfriend Penny
Yeah, we totally had sexShe showed me there’s so many
Different muscles I can flex
There’s the deltoids of compassion
There’s the abs of being kind
It’s not enough to bash in heads
You’ve got to bash in minds
Everyone’s a hero in their own wayEveryone’s got something they can do
Get up go out and fly
Especially that guy he smells like poo
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
You and you and mostly me and you
I’m poverty’s new sherriff
And I’m bashing in the slums
A hero doesn’t care if you’re a bunch of scaryAlcoholic bums- Everybody!
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone can blaze a hero’s trail
Don’t worry if it’s hard,
if you’re not a friggin ‘tard you will prevail
Everyone’s a hero in their own way
Everyone's a hero in their–

"Slipping"
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Act 3
Look at these people, amazing how sheep'llShow up for the slaughter
No one condemning, you lined up like lemmings
You lead to the water
Why can’t they see what I see Why can’t they hear the lies
Maybe the fee’s too pricey for them to realize
Your disguise is slipping, I think you’re slipping
Now that your savior’s as still as the grave
You’re beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder, I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?I bring you pain, the kind you can’t suffer quietly
Fire up your brain remind you inside you’re rioting
Society is slipping, everythings slipping away, so...
Go ahead- run away! Say it was horrible!
Spread the word- tell a friend! Tell them the tale!
Get a pic- do a blog: Heroes are over with!
Look at him- not a word! Hammer meet nail!
Then I win, then I get everything I everAll the cash, all the fame and social change
Anarchy that I run- it’s Dr. Horrible’s turn
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn... b
...y
Burn!
No sign of Penny? Good.
I would give anything not to have her see
It’s gonna be bloody- head up, Billy-buddy
There’s no time for mercy
*sound of machinery dying down*
That’s... not a good sound...
*Thwack!*
"The Finale / Brand New Day (reprise) "
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Act 3
My victory’s complete, so hail to the king
Arise and see
So your world’s benign, so you think justice has a voice
And we all have a choice- well now your world is mine
(Everything you ever...)
Now Dr. Horrible is here to make you quake with fear!
To make the whole world kneel
(Everything you ever)
And I wont feel … a thing
