Wonderboy

Never had to answer why
Liked to make the weaker cry
Apple of his mother's eye, her wonderboy

Average marks at all his schools
Sometimes cheated broke the rules
Dad said all those teachers' fools, to wonderboy, wonderboy

Oh so frightened that one day, turn his back or move away
Rather spoil him hope he'll stay their wonderboy

Dad finds him a job no doubt
Knows the business inside out
Can't believe they did without his wonderboy, wonderboy

Many friends though most are new
For the old ones always do
Get to know and see right through that wonderboy

Wonderboy, wonderboy

With his wife he's never wrong
Thrives on fear it makes him strong
Someone else to tag along with wonderboy

Now a son who'll one day reign
Mother's passion will sustain
See the pattern start again, it's wonderboy

Wonderboy, wonderboy
Wonderboy, wonderboy

Parent insecurity
Mother's little wonderboy
No faith in love returned
Daddy's precious pride and joy
Confidence and self-belief
Always been their number one
It seems they never learned
Lucky he's the perfect son
Scared of teaching values
Never known him second-best
Scared to teach respect
Thinks he's better than the rest
Parents take the easy way
Sure he never could be bad
Another future wrecked
All he did is made them glad
