Lyrics
v1
i crossed my t's and dotted my i's
i always left that last piece of pie
no angel ever fell out of the sky
v2
i always gave up my seat on the bus
i never argued and i never cussed
they said good manners would be a big plus
chorus
the world gets its swagger from movers and shakers
preachin' to givers but favorin' takers
if i get a chance to do it agian next time i'll become
the ultimate faker
v3
they always told me nice guys finish last
tried to convince me being bad was a blast
holding a door was a thing of the past
v4
maybe i'm slow and just don't move too fast
maybe what showed was good bearing and class
find me a saint cause i'm dying to ask
chorus
the world gets its swagger from movers and shakers
preachin' to givers but favorin' takers
if i get a chance to do it agian next time i'll become
the ultimate faker
bridge
i took the long way round trouble and fights
i was a magnet for doing what was right
acting the part is a faker's delight but
my head's on the pillow by 10 every night
chorus
the world gets its swagger from movers and shakers
preachin' to givers but favourin' takers
if i get a chance to do it agian next time i'll become
the ultimate faker
