You grew up in a womb of need Rich friends flew to Waikiki Swept the floors In high end stores Selling cool pomposity You wore clothes from remainder bins Hotties danced in Gucci sins To God, you swore You'd make a score Become the next financial prince Golden Boy It's far too late The things you buy Can't heal your pain Golden Boy It's far too late Childhood stings Never fade All the toys in the world Not going to soothe your wounds All the toys in the world Won't erase the gloom
Of the child who lacked While others played And watched in silent rage Of the child who hurt And felt ashamed Crying inside his room Tycoons lured you to their cave Taught you how to cheat and rape You walk the streets All alone Own a castle Lost your home Golden Boy, you've got to change Golden Boy, you need to be saved All the toys in the world Let's put them in a pile All the toys in the world Let's set them all on fire Burn, baby, burn All the toys in the world
