Whats The Good Of Being Good - Weezer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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?)
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?)

[Bridge]
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?
[Chorus]
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?)

[Outro]
(What's the good of being good?)
