Lyrics
I'm bad! I gotta figure out where mommy keeps the dynamite I’ll get some measuring tape so I can time it right I know it’s dangerous I know you’re thinking I am a fool But it’s the only chance I’ll ever get to look so cool (Look so cool) Hey, look at me, casually Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy In slow-mo, everything glowing and Blowing to bits right behind me You see it all the time in theatres on the silver screen Like when the good guy blows the bad guy’s house to smithereens I’ve got a movie-making camera and a dozen grenades I’m looking tough, I’ve got the stuff I’ve got the spiffy shades (Spiffy shades) Hey look at me casually Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy In slow mo, everything glowing and Blowing to bits right behind me I am aware it’s just a movie I’m aware it’s a cliché I am aware I’m being stupid I’m aware of that but hey This is just something that I gotta do. Yeah (Yeah) Hey, look at me, casually Stumbling down like action movie blooper reel In slow-mo, everything glowing and Blowing to bits including me
