                           The boastful Phoebus, Captain of the Guards, delivers this rocking paean to himself. The perfect anthem for every self-centered
                           egotist one has ever known.

                                    (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! 
  
                                    
                                    END
