tighter than bark on a tree

This phrase can describe many people we have the pleasure of knowing and have to deal with on a daily basis;
Such as, stingy ass pricks who wouldn't loan you a dollar to save your life AND EVEN IF THEY DID... there would be 70% interest.
Aswell as "no bullshit" parents who force their kids (and other people's kids) to act like good fucking Catholic school boys with consequences of "a knuckle sandwich" and or "tanning your hide" in tandem with threats like "If you keep it up like this, you won't be able to sit for a week!" or " You'd better watch your smart mouth buster!"

"Damn Daniel, your dad is tighter than bark on a tree!"

"You don't even know the half of it, Billy."

Barking Up The Wrong Tree

(Verse 1)
Yo, listen up, let me tell you a story,
'Bout a company called Bark, claimin' they got glory,
Parental control's their game and what they sell,
But I gotta speak out 'cause there's some stories to tell.

(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.

(Verse 2)
You say you protect kids from online threats and more,
Monitoring their messages down to the core.
But privacy concerns arise with every scan,
Invading our lives like an unwanted man.

(Bridge)
We all want safety for our children online,
But trust should be earned, not just a thin line.
Bark may mean well in its noble quest,
Yet it's crucial to question how far we invest.

(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.

(Verse 3)
Let kids grow and learn without constant surveillance
Teach them responsible use through guidance and patience
Respecting privacy is key in this digital age
So let's find better solutions that truly engage

(Outro)

Bark may have good intentions at heart
But let’s rethink monitoring from the start
Empower families with knowledge instead of fear
That’s how we'll create an atmosphere sincere.
