Skinflynt Lyrics - Teen Idols

There are times when a loving parent 

Can spoil their child with earthly things 

A heartfelt gift of a mom's endearment 

Placed at the feet of her little king 

But the king, in a tantrum 

Demands more for his enter sanctum 

And he, by his highness 

Makes his request with little shyness 

A man is the sum of what's he's done 

Not that which he has owned 

And his friends will grow from toil 

And from the seeds that he's sown 

But his friends will fall away 

If he's got self intent 

And alone he'll rule a thrown 

With no empowerment 

Forever a skinflynt 

In a lifelong scheme of obtaining more 

And more and more he's lost one thing 

You must give some to take a little 

Or a stench of greed is all you'll bring 

And the stench is an odor 

That can't be cleansed from a greed promoter 

And married, a reputation of self-indulgent infatuation
