And he likes it that way
I'm a cartoon
But you know life has been cruel
Be nice, be nice, be nice
Maybe you don't like your job
The man behind the counter looks like he's got
Miss. Live And Let Live
Well, nobody likes their job
Buddy, I don't really care what your problem is
The worst day of your life
Be studiously aloof
And besides which life is suffering
I'm a chipper cheerful free-for-all
So he can't come out to play
So just suck up, suck up and be nice
Like life is just a boring chore
Nobody got enough sleep
All the privileged white kids on TV
In the telephone book
I light up a room
I'm the color-me-happy girl
Then I guess I'd be out of a job
Maybe you just had
Be nice, be nice, be nice
Yeah, I would like to perfect the art
Maybe you didn't get enough sleep
Come on kids, let's all hold hands
Just don't make it mine
Wildly on their hooks
I'll always give
Brandishing their cold cuts with their ghostly make-up
Miss. Live And Let Live
And their heroine breath
A half a dozen places he'd rather be
And when they're out for blood
And I'm living proof
'Cause I'm a pixie, I'm a paper doll
Of ordinary hipsters
And pretend we're having a good time
But you know there's no escape and there's no excuse
And all the little fishes are flapping
I'm a color-me-happy girl
Be nice, be nice, be nice
Nobody likes their job
To take it all out on me
You know there's no escape, there's no excuse
And when they're out for blood
Maybe you didn't get enough sleep
And I light up a room
The worst day of your life
Be nice, be nice, be nice
And furthermore it looks like he's prepared
While all the top critics find great meaning
So I guess that's out of the picture
Maybe you don't like your job
Maybe you just had
So wipe that smile off your face, baby
And the little emperor, he has no clothes
I'm a chipper cheerful free-for-all
And the little guy is not so friendly
I could join forces with an army
And try to be cool
Playing at death
Nobody got enough sleep
So just suck up and be nice
