“No More Mr. Nice Guy” is a cover of Alice Cooper’s classic with additional lyrics. This song was recorded in 1989 for the horror movie Shocker. It was also the first Megadeth song to feature drummer Nick Menza.
The cover later appeared on Hidden Treasures as the opening track.
[Intro]
No more Mr. Nice Guy
Me, a Nice Guy?
Damn right!
[Verse 1]
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
Until they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
[Pre-Chorus]
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm getting real shot down
And I'm feeling mean
[Chorus]
No more Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Clean
No more Mr. Nice Guy, they say
He's sick, he's obscene
[Post-Chorus]
I'm not hard to get along with
Ha! I'm impossible!
[Pre-Chorus]
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm getting real shot down
And I'm feeling mean
[Chorus]
No more Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Clean
No more Mr. Nice Guy, they say
He's sick, he's obscene
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
Mom's been thrown out of the social circle
Dad's had to hide
I went to church incognito
And everybody rose
The Reverend Smith, he recognized me
He punched me in the nose
He said... no more, Nice Guy!
[Chorus]
No more (no more) Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Clean
No more Mr. Nice Guy, they say
He's sick, he's obscene
[Chorus]
No more (no more) Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Clean
No more Mr. Nice Guy, they say
He's sick, he's obscene, yeah
[Outro]
Not to say I was ever nice in the first place, you know?
