Man of Style and Substance (lyrics and music by C.R.Lewis) (Sung by Phoebus:) I had a suspicion Of a higher ambition And a personal volition from the day I was born I thrive on opposition And healthy competition But only as long as I'm the only one who's won I found winning all important So much more so concordant With a positive self-image than just playing the game It might sound harsh and unfeeling of me But when you think it through I believe you'll see The Program If others find they have to make the sacrifice So I could come out on top with the prize Then how fortunate they are to be part of the plan Of a superior man, a Man of Style and Substance Regrets I never suffered Apologies I never, ever uttered My existence is at once a vindicating defense Being raised the family favorite No doubt aided the attainment Of an awareness of my own unique and glorious sense Saintly people live for others This concern for weaker brothers Is like an echo of the mighty love I feel for myself Mine and Mankind's finish lines are the same I'm a quarterback in a win-win situation Rules were only made to be broken by me I was meant to be a cut above conformity The Realization of the Higher Plan The True Ubermensch, it's a cinch, I got Style and Substance As one might suspect I'm religious to the highest degree I often bow my head and thank the Lord in all sincerity It says in the Bible and it really makes sense I was created to be a reflection of God's Own Image But I bet I look more like Him as a much younger Man And I know it must comfort and please Him no end To gaze upon an ultimate creative success Just look! I'm the best! I'm a Man of Style and Substance And if you want to be in on the winning hand Then my friend you better start getting in with the plan You better jump on my train or get out of my way If you need the job done, call the man of Style and Substance As civilization keeps on rolling along The Creme de la Creme are all singing this song The world is our oyster and we are the Pearls The master race unfurls, we got Style and Substance We got Style and Substance So much Style and substance We got Style and substance!
