Being Nice  (lyrics)

 

In this life it seems money is needed, from the cradle to the grave.

You go to school but that’s just learning, for the foolish and the brave.

As soon as you are fully grown, they’ll work your fingers down to the bone.

 

Chorus

I told you once and I told you twice

You’ll never get nowhere by being nice.

I should have taken my daddy’s advice

He said you’ll get nowhere by being nice.

 

You work your way on up the ladder treading on other people’s hands.

If you’re a country with no assets just go and take somebody else’s lands.

Maybe the world will turn a blind eye, or put the bombers up into the sky.

 

Chorus

 

But if you’re clever there’s an easy option to working daily for your pay.

Take a job as a politician working for the big payday

Find something that you can privatise, then take a fat job on the inside.

 

Chorus

End
