We Are All Batpeople

You've got Batman entirely wrong
John, we are all batpeople
Hank, Gotham never gets better for long
Crime is not actually caused by evil
We are all batpeople
Crime is not actually caused by evil

Batman's just a rich guy with an affinity for bats
Who's playing out his insane fantasy
How is that heroic?
Batman's values and actions are
A reflection of our own values and actions
To make the world better
Does Batman understand how difficult it is
For an underfunded city like Gotham
To replace roads and bridges?
We see ourselves in the cracks in his façade
In his anger and frustration
Because we have all those things, too

John, we are all batpeople
Hank, Gotham never gets better for long
Crime is not actually caused by evil
We are all batpeople
Crime is not actually caused by evil

Crime is caused by systemic disenfranchisement
And poverty
And lack of access to job opportunities
We are not the heroes Earth needs (Earth needs)
But the heroes Earth just happened to get
