The Intelligent Design

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
That's one heck of an understatement
This voice inside my brain really brings me down
With its perpetual beratement

It's always saying things like "make them feel your wrath"
I know it's only trying to inspire me
But I just want to play with my kitten, maybe draw a bath
Write a few poems in my diary

I try to fight when that voice inside my head says something like
"Ruin all in your path."
Am I mired? Hard-wired? Was I built for this?
Or can I spend my time doing something crafty?
Like crochet. Overlay that double stitch, yeah
Maybe I would feel better making a sweater
Or a hat might be more fitting
I could be a mental organism designed only for
Only for knitting
"Killing!" Killing

I can't deny the hoverchair's a blast. I can skip over every pitfall
But flying can't protect you from getting picked last
When all your henchmen are playing kickball

I try to fight when that voice inside my head says something like
"Lay them all to waste."
Am I mired? Hard-wired? Was I built for this?
Or can I spend my time doing something tasty?
Like bake bread. I'll bet I could ace a loaf, yeah
Maybe I will feel fine warming a pie
You know lasers are great for heating
I could be a mental organism designed only for
Only for kneading
"Killing!" Ugh. Killing

I try to fight when that voice inside my head says something like
"Destroy the city."
Am I mired? Hard-wired? Was I built for this?
Or can I spend my time with someone pretty?
Like MODAM. Programmed to be super sexy, yeah
I could break hearts instead of Cap's arms
Maybe that's what I've been missing
I could be a mental organism designed only for
Only for kissing
"Killing!" Ugh
