Superman (It's Not Easy) Five for Fighting I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane I'm more than some pretty face beside a train And it's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see It may sound absurd, but don't be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed, but won't you concede Even heroes have the right to dream And it's not easy to be me Up, up and away, away from me Well, it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy Or anything I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me Inside of me Inside me Inside me Inside of me I'm only a man In a funny red sheet I'm only a man Looking for a dream I'm only a man In a funny red sheet And it's not easy It's not easy to be Me Penulis lagu: John Ondrasik

Viva La Vida | Coldplay I used to rule the world  Dulu kukuasai dunia Seas would rise when I gave the word  Lautan kan naik bila kuperintahkan  Now in the morning I sweep alone  Kini di pagi hari kusapu sendiri Sweep the streets I used to own  Kusapu jalanan yang dulu kukuasai I used to roll the dice  Dulu aku sering berjudi Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes  Merasakan ketakutan di mata musuhku Listened as the crowd would sing  Mendengarkan saat orang-orang bernyanyi  Now the old king is dead long live the king  Kini sang raja tua sudah meninggal, hidup raja One minute I held the key  Kupegang kunci satu menit  Next the walls were closed on me Selanjutnya dinding-dinding menutupku And I discovered that my castles stand  Dan kudapati istanaku berdiri Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand  Di atas tiang garam dan tiang pasir  CHORUS 1 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing  Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang Roman cavalry choirs are singing  Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi Be my mirror, my sword and shield  Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku Missionaries in a foreign field  Misionari di medan tak dikenal  For some reason I can't explain  Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan Once you'd gone there was never  Begitu kau pergi tak pernah ada  Never an honest word Tak pernah ada kata jujur  And that was when I ruled the world  Dan saat itulah kukuasai dunia It was a wicked and wild wind  Ini angin jahat dan liar  Blew down the doors to let me in  Membuka pintu tuk biarkanku masuk  Shattered windows and the sound of drums

 Porak-porandakan jendela dan suara genderang  People couldn't believe what I'd become Orang tak percaya jadinya diriku kini Revolutionaries wait  Para revolusioner menunggu For my head on a silver plate  Kepalaku memakai di pelat perak  Just a puppet on a lonely string  Hanya boneka di tali tipis Oh who would ever want to be king? Oh siapa yang ingin jadi raja? CHORUS 2 (2x) I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing  Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang Roman cavalry choirs are singing  Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi Be my mirror, my sword and shield  Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku Missionaries in a foreign field  Misionaris di medan tak dikenal  For some reason I can't explain  Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan I know St Peter won't call my name  Aku tahu Saint Peter takkan memanggil namaku  Never an honest word Tak pernah ada kata jujur  But that was when I ruled the world Tapi saat itulah kukuasi dunia
