And when they're out for blood
Nobody likes their job
And I'm living proof
Songwriter: Ani Difranco
And I light up a room
Of ordinary hipsters
Just don't make it mine
Maybe you didn't get enough sleep
And pretend we're having a good time
So just suck up, suck up and be nice
Maybe you just had
So just suck up and be nice
To take it all out on me
Come on kids, let's all hold hands
So he can't come out to play
I'm a chipper cheerful free-for-all
But you know life has been cruel
Brandishing their cold cuts with their ghostly make-up
But you know there's no escape and there's no excuse
All the privileged white kids on TV
In the telephone book
So I guess that's out of the picture
Well, nobody likes their job
I'll always give
Then I guess I'd be out of a job
'Cause I'm a pixie, I'm a paper doll
I light up a room
Be studiously aloof
Maybe you didn't get enough sleep
You know there's no escape, there's no excuse
Maybe you don't like your job
Maybe you don't like your job
Nobody got enough sleep
A half a dozen places he'd rather be
Yeah, I would like to perfect the art
Nobody got enough sleep
Maybe you just had
And the little guy is not so friendly
And besides which life is suffering
Be nice, be nice, be nice
And their heroine breath
Be nice, be nice, be nice
Buddy, I don't really care what your problem is
I could join forces with an army
So wipe that smile off your face, baby
The man behind the counter looks like he's got
Wildly on their hooks

I'm a color-me-happy girl
And try to be cool
And when they're out for blood
I'm a chipper cheerful free-for-all
The worst day of your life
Like life is just a boring chore
Miss. Live And Let Live
Playing at death
I'm a cartoon
I'm a cartoon
I'm a pixie, I'm a paper doll
Be nice, be nice, be nice
I'm the color-me-happy girl
While all the top critics find great meaning
And furthermore it looks like he's prepared
And he likes it that way
The worst day of your life
Miss. Live And Let Live
And all the little fishes are flapping
And the little emperor, he has no clothes
I'll always give
Be nice, be nice, be nice
