Golden Boy Lyrics

Top of the fold

 Toast of the town

 Everyone stops when you come around

 They hold their breath for you 

 

 Heroes are born

 Idols are made

 We're all fools for this factory fame

 And you've got the brand new face 

 

 You've got the brand new face

 Golden boy 

 

 Beauty untamed

 Stupid and wild

 Poster boy, you're society's child

 Cut your teeth

 Cut your mouth

 Cut it out 

 

 Meteor rise from obscurity

 All it took was a killing spree

 And the whole world was lying at your feet

 Golden boy 

 

 I know my place

 Stick to my lines

 Stay in your shadow

 Don't block your light 

 

 So you can shine divine

 Golden boy
