lyrics

Charles Atlas, where are you now
I’ve needed you since I don’t know how long
Charles Atlas, it seems to me
That you chose to disappear
From the back of my magazine
Pseudo hope for a weakling teen

Picture me upon the beach
Pretty girl within reach
Along comes Buster with a tan
Perfect post adolescent man
Knocks me down, steps on my hand
Kicks the ground, face full of sand

Bigger chest and quadriceps
Yours to own in three easy steps
Send the money, receive the pack
Exercise till you heart attack
They find your corpse flat on its back
Death by dumb bell and punch bag

Charles Atlas, oh can it be
That I too could be like thee
From a nine stone lad to a hunk of beef
But I guess I’d still be a coward underneath
The fake tan and the polished teeth
Complete with pecs and a borrowed self belief

The insult that made a man of Mac
Still had me down flat on my back
Saw that jerk take the girl from me
Something snapped inside to set me free
Now she says she’ll marry me
A man with thin legs and the muscles of a flea
