The Ballad of Xander Eli
Look at the boy disassembling his toys
Then he puts them back together again
High intellect, he's someone you will respect
But first fate will test him time and again
Out in the back when the aliens attack
All his family members eaten alive
Stuck there for days, in their blood he had to lay
Until the army soldiers busted inside
It don't matter if you're on your way
If you can't make it on the day to day
You could do it if you had your say
But you don't
Spends his life just chasing fame
Everyone is gonna know his name
Orphaned at an age he could not contain his rage
And so the young man, he made a vow
Never again would he see a loved one's end
He would change the future someway, somehow
It don't matter if you're on your way
If you can't make it on the day to day
You could do it if you had your say
But you don't
Spends his life just chasing fame
Everyone is gonna know his name
Everything you wanted at one point was right in front of you
But now it's so far out of view, it may not have ever been there
Now he's a man doing everything he can
To ensure the Earth is rid of the scum
He builds a machine to defeat his enemies
He is dangerous, look out here he comes
It don't matter if you're on your way
If you can't make it on the day to day
You could do it if you had your say
But you don't
Spends his life just chasing fame
Everyone is gonna know his name
Then he puts them back together again
High intellect, he's someone you will respect
But first fate will test him time and again
Out in the back when the aliens attack
All his family members eaten alive
Stuck there for days, in their blood he had to lay
Until the army soldiers busted inside
It don't matter if you're on your way
If you can't make it on the day to day
You could do it if you had your say
But you don't
Spends his life just chasing fame
Everyone is gonna know his name
Orphaned at an age he could not contain his rage
And so the young man, he made a vow
Never again would he see a loved one's end
He would change the future someway, somehow
It don't matter if you're on your way
If you can't make it on the day to day
You could do it if you had your say
But you don't
Spends his life just chasing fame
Everyone is gonna know his name
Everything you wanted at one point was right in front of you
But now it's so far out of view, it may not have ever been there
Now he's a man doing everything he can
To ensure the Earth is rid of the scum
He builds a machine to defeat his enemies
He is dangerous, look out here he comes
It don't matter if you're on your way
If you can't make it on the day to day
You could do it if you had your say
But you don't
Spends his life just chasing fame
Everyone is gonna know his name
