Oingo Boingo – Only A Lad Lyrics 15 years ago
House of Dolls, you have to realize one thing:
Danny Elfman is notorious for sarcasm and satire. Taking him literally is dangerous, as you know. It'd make him a sex-obsessed, hypocritical psychotic pedophile with many more adjectives than I care to think up.

In those lines you quoted, he's most likely speaking from a superconservative point of view that is not his own. The rest of the song is showing how crime is a creation of society, etc, with the "He's underprivileged and abused/Perhaps a little bit confused" lines.
