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



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
