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
