I've been a nice guy too long, I must make myself strong
Gotta make myself harder than nails
I've been learning real quickly, there's no-one gonna trick me
If they try, well, they surely will fail
Gonna learn to fight dirty, ain't no-one gonna hurt me
I'll soon know every trick of the trade
Gonna play crooked poker, yes I'll be the big joker
I will break every promise I made
Gonna try sterner action, I must have satisfaction
I'm just hoping they think I'm still green
I must wait 'til I'm ready, gotta hold it real steady
When I move gonna make that break clean
Gonna learn to fight dirty, ain't no-one gonna hurt me
I'll soon know every trick of the trade
Gonna play crooked poker, yes I'll be the big joker
I will break every promise I made
When I think of the times I've been cheated
And the times that I've been badly treated - it makes me mad
Tried to keep all my options wide open
All I get are those promises broken - it makes me mad
And it makes me so sad that I've got to change
I've been cornered and now I will fight back
Gonna push, gonna watch all those smiles crack - I'll make them mad
I will show all those people no favours
I have finished with my best behaviour - I'll make them mad
But it makes me so sad that I've got to change
I've been a nice guy too long, now I know I've been wrong
I've been used and I've just realised
All that haze has been lifted, I'm no longer restricted
Oh, the nice guy you knew has just died ...
Gonna learn to fight dirty, ain't no-one gonna hurt me
I'll soon know every trick of the trade
Gonna play crooked poker, yes I'll be the big joker
I will break every promise I made
I've been cornered and now I will fight back
Gonna push, gonna watch all those smiles crack - I'll make them mad
I will show all those people no favours
I have finished with my best behaviour - I'll make them mad
But it makes me so sad that I've got to change
