The horror, it was Zorro He was wearin' a mask I was out with my folks And we was havin' a laugh
We didn't do this too often, mingle with the proletariats folks were old money And too often they were scaredy cats
Always goin' out Leavin' me with the help Always raising funds And I'm left by myself
They saw that I was missin out On being a kid Dad said we're going out And I'm flippin' my lid
I was lost in the dark like that time in the cave Surrounded by bats Alone and afraid
Big Z on my screen Meant dueling and danger Someone so evil Can focus their anger
A hero that sent the injust to their ruin A mask to protect from people pursuin' A cape to conceal a collection of tricks And eveything black, on this he insists
I am the Batman I jump up and then I land You don't know what I got in my hand The shape of a bat you go \"SPLAT!\" and \"KABLAM!\"
I am the Dark Knight I do whats right, but I do it out of spite Don't look quite right if you turn on the light I'll land with a boom ... fight
Dad had the limo out back I was sacked out cause I'm a little lad Don't wanna be older, head's on a shoulder I heard a loud sound, and I went on the ground
It was sad... and my father was dead My mother was screamin' till she was shot in the head. See pearls in a puddle that was suddenly red The memory gets muddled except what the man said
\"Ever dance with the Devil In the pail moon light?\" A riddle I'll remember For the rest of my life
This killer was a chiller I was froze to the bone Alfred found me, I was howlin' Like a pup on his own
I made a promise to my parents In the circle of light I would vanquish evil in a cape Maybe some tights
I didn't know how I would do it Or which form I would take I just knew it was a creature Only I could create

... ... pack plenty of socks brought a legion of luggage drug it down to the docks
But I gave them the slip Stowed away on a freight I was pissed with being rich Life's a bitch, so they say
Foreign land, with the plan and the knowledge within for soon I'd be a man that would need to begin
This quest to be best And defend the opressed Packed in the projects Like objects and pests
I'd have to return But for now, I would train I learned tracking and hunting On the African plain
In China learned Tao Japan, I learned Jiu Jitsu Don't believe you would bleed Well let me convince you
Nerve pinch, in a pinch ... Used the Quivering Palm In a fight take a life
Over a hundred forms Of hand-to-hand anguish ... Learned every language
Studied shadow with ninjas disguise and escape Leanred boxing, detoxing Concealing with capes
Went to Cambridge, ... But never for too long 'Fore the end of the semester I would have to be gone
Came home to forgotten Gothem's so rotton and twisted Came home to my mansion It's a vast stash of riches
Brooding in the darkness With a bust of my father A bat through the window A question of honor
I am the Batman I jump up and then I land You don't know what I got in my hand The shape of a bat you go \"SPLAT!\" and \"KABLAM!\"
I am the Dark Knight I do whats right, but I do it out of spite Don't look quite right if you turn on the light I'll land with a boom ... fight
