Cynical Fool Lyrics - Teen Idols

Once there was a man with the world in his hands 

And his visions were known far and wide 

But power breeds boredom so friends he ignored them 

His freedom just withered and died 

Now he's grown old, reclusive and cold 

Like a slug rotting deep in it's shell 

Don't bother to reach him, you're too far beneath him 

He'll tell you, tell you, "Go straight to hell" 

He's a cynical fool who's mad at the world 

For holding him close to their hearts 

If they can't compare to his arrogant air 

With the feeble attempts to be smart 

And it's not the way they seem 

That makes him feel so cool 

It's his stature up above them not if they love him 

Because he's a cynical fool 

Sarcastic comments with mean, hateful contents 

Are considered by him to be mild 

His asshole aggression has become an obsession 

Due to the problems he faced as a child 

Painted in a corner from slander made to order 

He goes nowhere, has nothing to do 

Don't feel sorry for him, just try to ignore him 

I'm sure he'd do the same for you
