lyrics

Well, let me tell you dudes
About a boy I once knew
He was in my class in sixth grade,
Then in eighth grade, too
And he sat at the back of the room,
Never said a word

We made fun, and I'm not proud
He wasn't dumb, he didn't care,
Although he figured it out

Uh-huh..

One day he yelled, "I've got it!"
In the middle of Science class
He ran out holding something large and silver
―It certainly wasn't a hallway pass!

The teacher asked me
What he was hiding in his hands, and I told her
He'd been fiddling around with some kind of
Metallic controller

That day, he never came back after he left,
But the door started to open and shut all by itself

Uh-huh...

A pencil behind his ear
Ice-blue eyes betraying no fear
Try as they might, bullies couldn't
Make him shed a tear
In fact, he got some sick satisfaction
From the laughter and the jeers

I laughed, too, and if I could take it
All back now, I would
Why don't I have the courage
To be who I should?

I wish that I could have been someone like him.

At one point, he started getting ripped
Oh... Man, what a trip!
And once he could bench-press six hundred fifty pounds,
Nobody was gonna ever, ever make fun of him
Or push him around

Invisiboy...
Now you'll never be destroyed!

He started to fight crime
It was just a matter of time
Got himself a huge following
All the people said that
Boy was a king, and I guess he was

And we all say, "At least I was cool"
And we all say, "At least I had
Friends in school"
But sometimes I wish that I could have been
Someone like him
Yes, sometimes I wish that I could have been
Someone like him, someone like...

Invisiboy, Invisiboy
Invisiboy, Invisiboy
Invisiboy, Invisiboy
Invisiboy, Invisiboy

Yes, he's gonna keep on fighting
And no, he'll never be destroyed
Yes, he's gonna keep on fighting
And no, he'll never be destroyed!
