The Curse

Why are the world’s biggest sinners Always saints when they’re gone? It’s all about losers and winners Not about who’s right and who is wrong Who’s the thief, who’s the traitor? Who’s the one to save the day? And who will be in the spotlight While the good ones fade away Yes I realize it’s just a fact of life Nothing’s ever really free And if I have to I will gladly pay the price We can’t escape our destiny [Chorus:] It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right The price we pay for our honour No more Mr Nice Guy No more Mr Right Should I be like all the others? Should I give up the good fight? This never-ending struggle Has been part of me so long Is it a curse is it a blessing? We know who’s right, who is wrong I’m not complaining this is how I lived my life I(‘ll) keep my pride my dignity And if I have to I will gladly pay the price You can’t cheat your destiny [Chorus:] It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right The price we pay for our honour [Solo] Yes I realize it’s just a fact of life Nothing’s ever really free And if I have to I will gladly pay the price You can’t cheat your destiny [Chorus:] It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right The price we pay for our honour It’s the curse of being good The curse of doing right
