The following is a character list of main and secondary characters on the Disney Channel series Phineas and Ferb.
Phineas Flynn (voiced by Vincent Martella) Like other characters, he has red hair, his age is not mentioned. Phineas, along with his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, star in the A-Plot of every episode. The series concerns Phineas's attempts to avoid boredom by finding something new to do every day of the summer vacation. He does this with his less-talkative stepbrother Ferb, and often with many other neighborhood children. He is known to be very selfless and energetic. Phineas has many catch phrases like "Oh, there you are, Perry" or "Hey, Ferb! I know what we're going to do today!" and "Hey, where's Perry?".
Phineas comes from a blended family. The creators chose this arrangement because they considered it underused in children's programming as well as from Marsh's experiences in one. As a character, Phineas has received a positive critical response, with one reviewer describing him and his brother as a "comical pairing." Phineas appears in Phineas and Ferb merchandise, including plush toys,t-shirts, and a video game.
I woke up this mornin', and the world was gray.
Haven't seen the sun since they hauled me away.
The boss man says there's no use in tryin',
He won't let me color outside of the lines.
Got these chains on me,
And, they're draggin' me down.
Got these chains on me,
Hear that clankin' sound?
Got these chains on me,
Mister, hear my song.
Don't say imagination is morally wrong.
Mm-hmm-hmm
Drink of water, boss?
As long as I've been here I got nothin' to show,
Try to make somethin' but the boss says no
Wanna be creative but the man won't hear it
That big boss man is tryin' to crush my spirit
Got these chains on me,
They won't let me fly
Got these chains on me,
Won't tell me why
Got these chains on me
Mister, hear my song.
Don't say imagination is morally wrong
No, they won't let us dance or bang that gong,
