What's The Good Of Being Good
Walking in these hallowed hallways
Bearded masters on the wall
Winning one more shiny medal
I can still hear the applause
I won it all many times over
But I'm still not satisfied
Yes, it feels like something's missing
If there's no one by my side
What's the good of being good?
When there's no one who will appreciate
And so you might as well accept the fact
You're gonna finish last
You're gonna finish last (what's the good of being good?)
No loving wife to smile at me
No daughter to dote on with pride
'Til the day I give her away
With a teardrop in my eye
No clever son to learn my teaching
And to try his very best
To be grateful for my solace
When he cannot pass a test
What's the good of being good?
When there's no one who will appreciate
And so you might as well accept the fact
You're gonna finish last
You're gonna finish last (what's the good of being good?)
Tell me what's the good of being good
When your best friend stabs your back, and he lies to the people
And drags your good name through the mud
Could you tell me what's the good of being good
When your best friend steals your woman
And down on the cushion
He drags your good name through the mud
What's the good of being good?
When there's no one who will appreciate
And so you might as well accept the fact
You're gonna finish last
You're gonna finish last (what's the good of being good?)
Let's go
What's the good of being good?
Bearded masters on the wall
Winning one more shiny medal
I can still hear the applause
I won it all many times over
But I'm still not satisfied
Yes, it feels like something's missing
If there's no one by my side
What's the good of being good?
When there's no one who will appreciate
And so you might as well accept the fact
You're gonna finish last
You're gonna finish last (what's the good of being good?)
No loving wife to smile at me
No daughter to dote on with pride
'Til the day I give her away
With a teardrop in my eye
No clever son to learn my teaching
And to try his very best
To be grateful for my solace
When he cannot pass a test
What's the good of being good?
When there's no one who will appreciate
And so you might as well accept the fact
You're gonna finish last
You're gonna finish last (what's the good of being good?)
Tell me what's the good of being good
When your best friend stabs your back, and he lies to the people
And drags your good name through the mud
Could you tell me what's the good of being good
When your best friend steals your woman
And down on the cushion
He drags your good name through the mud
What's the good of being good?
When there's no one who will appreciate
And so you might as well accept the fact
You're gonna finish last
You're gonna finish last (what's the good of being good?)
Let's go
What's the good of being good?
