What’s the Good of Being Good - Weezer

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 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'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?)
