Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store


You were rich and powerful and you had the world in the palm of your hand

People  laughed off your bad behavior but deep down they knew you were a bad man

You got want you wanted but you wanted more like the gluttonous pig that you are

It wasn't enough for you to be successful behind the scenes, you also had to be the star

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

Nothing for you was in moderation, you always wanted more

You were a Fat Overindulent Kid In A Candy Store

In the long run less would have been more

Too much was never enough and you simply overplayed your hand

Didn't you ever look in the mirror and see that you were a fat and ugly man?

I have never seen a film producer do so many interviews in my life

You were really that full of yourself, you really did think you had the right

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

You were banging on the door to come inside, before the store opened it's doors

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

Too much was never enough and you always wanted more

You didn't act like an adult,  you acted like a spoiled rotten kid that was twelve

And now because of your bad behavior, you have ruined everything for everyone else

Thanks for inadvertently helping to spearhead the #Me Too Movement

Now because of you every man is now guilty before being proved innocent

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

You were banging on the door to come inside before the store opened it's doors

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

You were never satisfied with what you had, you always wanted more

You are in prison now and I think everyone can agree that you got what you deserved

You are truly a horrible person, you were nothing but a creepy turd

I am happy that you will at least be in prison for the rest of your life

The world will probably rejoice when the day comes when you finally die

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

You had the sweetest candy in the world but you still wanted more

You were a Fat Overindulgent Kid In A Candy Store

The store could never close while you were still inside because you always wanted more
