<poem> | <poem> | ||
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 your best friend steals your woman | 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 is 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 the 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 is 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 | He drags your good name through the mud | ||
What's the good of being good | What's the good of being good | ||
When there's no one | 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 | |||
