[Verse 1]
Such a sad sight before me
So simple it bores me
A challenge so utterly prosaic (Awe)
Oh, you wish to cross swords?
Have you not heard my lore?
If I have to, I guess I will explain it

[Verse 2]
Born and raised by wealthy halflings
I ran away to chase better things
Lived on the streets by feeding off all my slaughtered foes
I was found by powerful gods
Bestowed a power against all odds
And also I have resistance to all damage types

[Pre-Chorus (Spoken)]
You got all that? Cool

[Chorus]
You cannot hit me
You cannot hurt me
You cannot poison or freeze or burn me
This body can’t be killed, take it as a sign (As a sign)
You cannot win this
You cannot touch this
Can’t bе helped, can’t be nеrfed, this is my time to shine
I’m the bestest character by design (By design)
I just can’t lose
This body cannot be bruised
Do your best, make a mess, I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
I just can’t die
My armor class is too high
Give it up, this is all by design

[Verse 3]
Everyone has heard of all my feats

Yes it’s true
Everyone, of course it seems, except for you. (Except for you)
You say that this sounds hard to believe
And you’re not wrong! (You’re not wrong)
Guess I’m just a special kind of strong
You see

[Verse 4]
No “Wish” nor “Forcecage” nor barbarian’s Rage
Could pin me or trap me for long!
No dark necromancy could thwart my advance, see?
To the top of the pedestal where I belong!

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) In truth, I did nothing wrong. Never
(Ooh) I don’t deserve any hardships (Ooh) ever!
Everything that happens to me (Ooh) is the world’s fault
(Ooh) I’m simply too exceptional to be at fault?
Or something? I dunno

[Chorus]
You cannot hit me
You cannot hurt me
You cannot poison or freeze or burn me
This body can’t be killed, take it as a sign (As a sign)
You cannot win this
You cannot touch this
(Ooh) Can’t be helped, can’t be nerfed, this is my time to shine
I’m the bestest character by design (By design)
(Aah) I just can’t lose
This body cannot be bruised
Do your best, make a mess, I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
I just can’t die
My armor class is too high
Give it up, this is all by design

[Verse 5]
Not a year I have trained
And many dragons I’ve slain
It’s all for naught if I’ve achieved it all with ease (Aah)
Oh, you wish to cross swords?
Surely You heard my lore!
It should be easy, for I am level 20!

[Bridge]
I find myself surrounded by two gargantuan (Ooh) beasts
The ground cracks underneath their feet… (Ooh)
(Oh, what to do?)
They roll for damage and get a Nat 20!
Suddenly death doesn’t feel that far away from me–
So I cast dimension door and then I escape!

[Chorus]
You cannot hit me
You cannot hurt me
You cannot poison or freeze or burn me
This body can’t be killed, take it as a sign (As a sign)
(Aah) You cannot win this
You cannot touch this
(Ooh) Can’t be helped, can’t be nerfed, this is my time to shine
I’m the bestest character by design (By design)
I just won’t lose
(Oh) This body will not be bruised
Do your best, make a mess, I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
(Aah) I just won’t die
My armor class is too high
Give it up, this is all by design
