"Nice Guys Finish Last" was a single released by the American punk band Green Day's fifth studio album Nimrod. The song was the first track off the record, and was the last single from it to become a hit (thanks in part to its use in the movie Varsity Blues, which earned it a MTV Video Music Award nomination for best song from a movie).

[edit] Music Video
The music video features the band on a football field as a mock football team (parodying the Green Bay Packers with Green Day). They have a stage set up and in the middle, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong is tackled by a fan, Mike Dirnt sprains his ankle when jumping, and a coach motivates them midway during the song. This video was directed by Evan Bernard.
