Teen Idols - Skinflynt Lyrics
There are times when a loving parentCan spoil their child with earthly thingsA heartfelt gift of a mom's endearmentPlaced at the feet of her little kingBut the king, in a tantrumDemands more for his enter sanctumAnd he, by his highnessMakes his request with little shynessA man is the sum of what's he's doneNot that which he has ownedAnd his friends will grow from toilAnd from the seeds that he's sownBut his friends will fall awayIf he's got self intentAnd alone he'll rule a thrownWith no empowermentForever a skinflyntIn a lifelong scheme of obtaining moreAnd more and more he's lost one thingYou must give some to take a littleOr a stench of greed is all you'll bringAnd the stench is an odorThat can't be cleansed from a greed promoterAnd married, a reputation of self-indulgent infatuation
