Ever feel like being nice just isn't worth it anymore? That's the vibe Alice Cooper is channeling here. The lyrics tell the story of someone who was once kind and helpful but got burned by society's harsh judgments. Despite his good deeds, he gets ostracized—friends abandon him, even his pets turn on him, and he's shunned by the community. The breaking point comes when he's punched in the nose at church, symbolizing a complete rejection from all social norms. Tired of being mistreated despite his kindness, he decides to ditch the "nice guy" persona and embrace a tougher, more rebellious attitude. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's felt unappreciated and decided it's time to stand up for themselves.
No More Mr. Nice Guy
Lyrics
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me.
I opened doors for little old ladies,
I helped the blind to see.
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me and I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feeling mean.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
They can't be seen with me and I'm feelin' real shot down
And I'm gettin' mean.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
They say he's sick, he's obscene.
My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose, he said.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
He said you're sick, you're obscene.
No more Mister Nice Guy,
No more Mister Clean,
No more Mister Nice Guy,
He said you're sick, you're obscene.
