In this life

What a good boy i've been, a humanitarian
done what's right in my own eye
with just a little compromise
Every good boy does fine
does his best for all mankind
appearance of integrity
keep him barking up that tree
In this life i've accumulated knowledge & reason
in this life i've put up a good fight but never won
Good boys always finish last
just a relic of the past
might as well just pack my bags
'cause it's all just filthy rags
In this life i've realized who's in my reflection
