I Fight Dragons

There's a band by the name of I Fight Dragons.
They're a rock band that uses NES and GameBoy-style 8-bit sound along with traditional instruments to create a pretty cool (and unique) style.

They also wear superhero T-shirts as band uniforms.  They are officially my heroes.





This song of theirs, "No One Likes Superman Anymore," is really cool.  It's pretty much exactly how I feel about the cynical people of the world who don't seem to have time for decency anymore.





Strong hands, strong mind
Strong all the time
Straightforward and kind
Too simply defined

Cuz no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He’s too noble and too blind
We’re all older now and we don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

(Don’t touch that dial)
(It’s just that goodness is out of style)

Be dark, be cold
(so conflicted)
No hand to hold
(heart constricted)
Dark Knight, bright soul
(we’re addicted)
No room here for the bold

Cuz no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He’s too noble and too blind
We’re all older now and we don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

And what if he can fly?
Hey, well so can I
Jet Blue or United Airlines
And who cares if he’s strong
All we see’s the wrong we’ve done
Reflected in his eyes

Cuz no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He’s too noble and too blind
We’re all older now and we don’t need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind


Oh hey, and for the Zelda fans out there...
