"You're not crazy if you think Captain America's struggle parallels the debates over the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, the Bush domestic surveillance program and other controversial programs in the post-Sept. 11 world."

 

 

""I'm definitely pissed off," said Ken Feliu, a 34-year-old commercial production director and lifelong comic book reader. "I mean, why did they have to kill him off?"

 

"He's supposed to represent all our ideals, everything we're supposed to aspire to and they couldn't leave him intact?" Feliu said. "And the way he died — with two bullets to the chest by a sniper? Come on!"

 

"All the heroes today have to have an edge, have to be gritty," he continued. "No one has enough creativity where they can't leave a hero who actually stands for something well enough alone."

I remember, when you were down

And you needed a helping hand

I came to feed you

But now that I need you

You wont give me a second glance

Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world

This is Captain America calling

I bailed you out when you were down on your knees

So will you catch me now I'm falling

 

Help me now I'm calling you

Catch me now I'm falling

I'm in your hands it's up to you

Catch me now I'm falling

 

I remember when you were down

You would always come running to me

I never denied you and I would guide you

Through all of your difficulties

Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world

This is Captain America calling

I bailed you out when you were down on your knees

So will you catch me now I'm falling

 

Help me now I'm calling you

Catch me now I'm falling

I'm in your hands it's up to you

Catch me now I'm falling

 

When you were broke you would come to me

And I would always pull you round

Now I call your office on the telephone

And your secretary tells me that shes sorry

But, you've gone out of town.

Help me now I'm calling you

Catch me now I'm falling

I'm in your hands it's up to you

Catch me now I'm falling

 

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

 

I stood by you through all of your depressions

And I lifted you when you were down

Now it's your chance to do the same for me

I call your office and your secretary tells me

That you've gone out of town

 

This is Captain America calling

This is Captain America calling

 

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

 

I was the one who always bailed you out

Of your depressions and your difficulties

I never thought that you would let me down

But the next time you're in trouble

Better not come running to me

 

Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world

This is Captain America calling

I bailed you out when you were down on your knees

So will you catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

 

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling

Catch me now I'm falling
