it's Much Easier to Be the Guy

i see you looking at those guys,
those smooth talking guys
who do some form of spiritual
mockery in their free time.
you'll never win,
good guy,
you'll never win.
you're too Goddamn nice and holy.
be an asshole
because that's what they like.
they want you to be mean
hateful
and disgraceful.
it's the world we live in
the world that was developed
or lack there of
for us.
the
jerk always wins
that's the way it's been since time began.
be attractive,
confident
and full of everything you hate
and although at night
you won't sleep well.
you'll toss and turn
because you've become the bad guy.
but every night
a different girl will rotate through that bed
and you'll know how to keep them
back at the homestead.
nice guys finish last.
its been this way forever
and it'll never change
you've got to hear the truth
hold on to it as much
as
you want to.
but in the end
you're too kind
too responsive.
be cold
dark
and humorous,
that's what they want now,
we're lost in the time.
maybe back then
it worked
but  now
you're just another schmuck they call
when they want to feel better about
themselves
and you'll answer the phone
and offer opinions,
because it's the right thing to do.
spiritually.
but metaphorically,
you just shot yourself
in the goddamn heart.
how sad
the truth is.
