The Lyrics
In an attempt to restore some goodness to this website and to put all the hatred of the past four years behind me, but more importantly to celebrate the release of the fifth season of "My Hero Academia", I'm declaring April as "My Hero Academia Month.
For those of you who have been living under the proverbial rock since 2015 or so, "My Hero Academia" ("Boku no Hero Academia" in the original Japanese) is a manga/anime series created by Kohei Horikoshi. It centers on Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, a teenager who dreams of becoming a great superhero like his favorite hero All Might, but he lacks a superpower - or "Quirk" as they're known - when most other people have them. However, after attempting to save the life of his rival Katsuki "Kacchan" Bakugo, Deku receives a power from none other than All Might, and he spends his days at UA High School learning how to become a pro superhero. That aside, enjoy the parody!

One day, I started dreamin’
Like all people do,
That one day, I could be a hero,
‘Cause dreamers think they got nothin’ to lose.
But then, the doctor told me, yeah,
I ain’t got no Quirk.
Though as my mom’s cryin’ for my daydreams,
I won’t give up on makin’ it work!
I’m the kid that they call “Deku”,
I got a heart that’s made of gold.
I’ll make myself somethin’
Like the heroes from days of old!
Kacchan was bullyin’ me,
He said I’m headed for a losin’ fight.
But just because Kacchan had his Quirk
Didn’t mean he’s always right.
So Kacchan, one day, got kidnapped,
I wouldn’t tell you no lie,
Kacchan, I tried to save him,
All Might came and he heard our cry.
I’m the kid that they call “Deku”,
I got a heart that’s made of gold.
I’ll make myself somethin’
Like the heroes from days of old!
Oh, I’m the kid that they call “Deku”,
I’m gonna save the world with a smile on my face!
Ooh, here it comes!
[guitar solo]
Oh, let me tell you all about it!
Heroes are made for justice,
When no one else will save the day,
And UA High will teach me those skills
To get me on my own way!
So why don’t I give up, people,
When it seems gone and lost?
‘Cause my favorite hero taught me
Livin’ your dreams is worth the cost!
I’m the kid that they call “Deku”,
I got a heart that’s made of gold.
I’ll make myself somethin’
Like the heroes from days of old!
Oh, I’m the kid that they call “Deku”,
And I’d like to tell Kacchan what he can do, too!
That’s the end of this parody!
