Back in 2006 in the basement of Richie's house
Doug played a righteous riff and the band just grooved on out
The song had no lyrics then so Eric quickly grabbed the mic
He improvised a melody we liked and then he belted out the title line

Two years had flown on by before Dougie brought some words to town
A gripping tale of suburban angst that the band gave three thumbs down
Rich took a shot with a story 'bout a B-film star's decline
The idea sounded groovy at first but the stars would not align

Working out a theme
It's harder than it seems
It makes us want to scream

We pour ourselves into all that we do but
No matter how hard we try
We beg and plead for divine intervention
But there's no help from on high
We get ideas we all think might have wings but
Somehow they don't seem to fly
It's just no use trying to force inspiration
Our Muse just passes us by
No matter how hard we try

In twenty-ten Doug tried again with an ode to a Superman
Davey really liked the idea but Rich and Eric tossed it in the can
So Davey scribbled down some words about this tune's painful birth
And that's how we got this tune you're hearing
Take it for what it's worth

Working out a theme
It's harder than it seems
It makes us want to scream

We pour ourselves into all that we do but
No matter how hard we try
We beg and plead for divine intervention
But there's no help from on high
We get ideas we all think might have wings but
Somehow they don't seem to fly
It's just no use trying to force inspiration
Our Muse just passes us by
