You know... people got me all wrong. I wasn't trying to be mean. I was just... creative. Yeah. Well, Andy had a cowboy, and Andy had a space ranger too He played by the book, did exactly what he was supposed to do But I looked at a duck, and I looked at a muscular arm And I thought, "Hey, combining these two wouldn't do any harm" I had a workshop in the shed, I had a vision in my head While other kids were sleeping, I was operating on the dead (Plastic dead, that is) I’m not a monster, I’m a pioneer! I’m a medical marvel, I’m a future engineer! They call it "torture," I call it "avant-garde art" I was just trying to give that baby doll a fresh start I didn't know they could talk, I didn't know they could feel! I thought I was just inventing the next big wheel Yeah, I’m misunderstood, clearly. I took a fishing rod and I took a pair of legs I made a masterpiece that walks and begs I put a Pterodactyl head on a soldier's torso Is it scary? Maybe. Is it genius? More so! Scud was my assistant, yeah, he was a good old dog We were advancing science, clearing out the fog But then the cowboy moved, and I nearly wet my pants Ruined my whole career in a single glance! 'Cause I’m not a monster, I’m a pioneer! I’m a medical marvel, I’m a future engineer! They call it "torture," I call it "avant-garde art" I was just trying to give that baby doll a fresh start I didn't know they could talk, I didn't know they could feel! I thought I was just inventing the next big wheel Yeah, I’m misunderstood, dearly. Now I’m terrified of plastic, I’m scared of the toys I grew up to be a garbage man, making all that noise But sometimes I look at the trash compactor... And I think... "I could put a laser on that." So don't judge a boy by the skull on his shirt I never meant to cause nobody no hurt. I was just a genius... Ahead of my time. Play nice, Scud.
