He certainly did earn that reputation.
Oh no, no, no, no
And I'm watching her die
On my TV
And the daddy cries
How could it be
And it could be you
And it could be me
Child full of giving
Child full of hoping
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
This is where you've never been
And maybe one day you'll follow me
Look ok on the outside
Dead on the inside
And there's nothing to win
Aint no disease
Child full of giving
Child full of giving
Yes you were
Child full of hoping
Lying, dying, dead
Child full of hoping
But now it's gone
And you run
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run
And I'm watching her die
On my TV
And the daddy cries
How could it be
And it could be you
And it could be me
Child full of giving
Child full of hoping
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
This is where you've never been
And maybe one day you'll follow me
Look ok on the outside
Dead on the inside
And there's nothing to win
Aint no disease
Child full of giving
Child full of giving
Yes you were
Child full of hoping
Lying, dying, dead
Child full of hoping
But now it's gone
And you run
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
And you're gonna run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Maybe "The Crab" signifies cancer?
