Green Day
Nice Guys Finish Last [That’s Not Cricket]
[Spoken Word Intro]
Billie: This song is from 1997, it's called "Nice Guys Finish Last". Let's go!
[Verse 1]
Nice guys finish last
You're runnin' out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes, you're at your best
When you feel the worst
You feel washed up like piss goin' down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure cooker, pick my brain
And tell me I'm insane
I'm so fuckin' happy, I could cry
Every joke can have its truth
But now the joke's on you
I never knew you're such a funny guy
[Chorus]
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
[Verse 2]
Livin' on command
You're shakin' lots of hands
You'rе kissin' up and bleedin' all your trust (Go!)
Takin' what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your mеmory and you got no shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure cooker, pick my brain
And tell me I'm insane
I'm so fuckin' happy, I could cry
Every joke can have its truth
But now the joke's on you
I never knew you're such a funny (Everybody Let's go!)
[Chorus]
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine (Alright! Here we go)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine (Alright!)
