Nice Guys Finish Last — текст песни (Steve Poltz)

On a grassy knoll they laid him down

And I bet hes still grumbling underground

On a diamond, thats where I remember him best

Sticking his nose in an umpires chest



cause theyre paid too much today

Man, I know thats what leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last



The "say hey" kids gonna miss you bad

And Im sure there were times when you made him mad

He broke in the leagues back in 51

And you treated him like he was your son



cause theyre paid too much today

Man, I know thats what leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last



Youd throw your tantrums like a little girl

Got to see the shot heard around the world

The pictures show you hugging bobby thompsons neck

Back when they played the game for more than just a check



cause theyre paid too much today

Man, I know thats what leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last



So let the critics say just what they will

You gave us a pain and you gave us thrills

And most of these jokers never played the game

You were much too good for their hall of fame



cause theyre paid too much today

Man, I know thats what leo would say

And they need a kick in the ass

cause nice guys finish last

Nice guys finish last



On a grassy knoll they laid him down

And I bet hes still grumbling underground
