Lyrics
I'll prove myself in my classroom
I'll puke up with Pavlovian grace
All the useless facts that I've been force-fed
And do what I can to kiss my teacher's ass
I'll measure up to the standards set
My behaviour and conscience will always be well kept
Tell me that I've passed the grade
Maybe I'll forgive the compromises I've made
I'll prove myself at work
No more mopping up to your attendants
Work overtime without extra pay
Break my back to impress my fucking boss
I'll measure up to the standards set
My behaviour and conscience will always be well kept
Except I haven't earned a financial raise
Content with a backslap and verbal praise
All I wanted was to be accepted
And all I want is to be respected
I always gave and rarely took
I was eager to follow and easily led
There must be more to life than this
Why do nice guys finish last?
There must be more to life than this
Why do nice guys finish last?
I measured up to the standards set
My behaviour and conscience were always well kept
But everyone thinks I'm a fucking jerk
And it's too late to wonder if I should have lived a different life
Nice guys, nice guys, nice guys
Finish last
