Nice Guys (Don't Get Paid) (Live) - Soul Asylum[00:00:00]

Written by：Dave Pirner[00:00:01]

Well they packed up their violin cases of the finest artillery[00:00:28]

Hopped in a big black Studebaker they were acting pretty scary[00:00:33]

And no one talked as they synchronized their watches[00:00:38]

And they drove past the train station[00:00:43]

Well the train rolled out with a passenger car[00:00:57]

Filled with retired millionaires and movie stars[00:01:03]

Two twitching men clutched six guns in their sweat drenched coats[00:01:08]

With a fail safe holded up plan and that would be all she wrote[00:01:13]

And the gangsters cowboys gypsies and freewheelers[00:01:17]

Sold out their trades to become drug dealers[00:01:23]

There ain't no money in doing things straight[00:01:27]

Your community thanks you business is good and nice guys don't get[00:01:32]

Outside the train window fast as he could ride[00:01:37]

Was a kid on a horse with a head full of lies[00:01:42]

And the tears of excitement couldn't put out the fire in his eyes[00:01:47]

For the house he was riding to burglarize[00:01:52]

All through the house they were dancing and singing[00:02:07]

An extended family with fiddlers and magicians[00:02:12]

A juggler and a chemist who'd invent a potion[00:02:17]

To pacify all the killers and rapists[00:02:21]

The chemist died in the burglary and they sold the prescription[00:02:26]

For a case of cheap red wine to a traveling salesman[00:02:31]

In a three wheeled jalopy he bought and sold potions[00:02:36]

To the city that looked over the ocean[00:02:41]

And he sold the last drop it was big with the rich kids[00:02:45]

And soon the city would be crawling with addicts[00:02:50]

In back rooms dark alleys basements and attics[00:02:55]

Where a fly is trapped in a spider's web but a bat's got the spider[00:03:00]

And no one knows what's going on[00:03:14]

But you gotta show up for yourself at the end of the day[00:03:19]

And nice guys don't get paid[00:03:24]

Nice guys don't get paid[00:03:29]

Now all the hopeless romantics are wearing white collars[00:03:42]

Upstanding assassins clean hands filthy dollars[00:03:47]

Hijackin' fanatics who kill for religion[00:03:51]

In a city full of addicts and colored television[00:03:56]
