I was taught in Sunday School
To treat others how I want to be treated
“Be kind to them and you will gain
Rewards three times three”
Later on I learned in school
That this was just a lie
People treat me just the same
As if I wasn’t there
Later on I learned in life
That nice guys finish last
I was always nice to them
But I was just a “piece of shit”
Now I’ve realized he truth
That no one gives a damn
I see the truth of Sunday School
They wanted me like them
