Everything's a lie, we're all gonna die
Before we say goodbye, let's attack
I admit it's bleak, but
I give it a week
Until our friends the meek, give it back
Is it true, well it's true enough
I guessJoin the chorus of the second best
Second best, second best, second best
What's left of you that's real, a mutated ideal
With limited appeal,
I suggestIf hitting is an art then it's drawn us apart
When you erased your heart and beat your chest
Is it you, well it's you enough
I guessYou're an angel in a see-through dress
Is it true, yes it's true enough
I guessSecond best, second best, second best, second best
Perhaps it's just as well that
I still look like hell
At least the world can tell us apart
Is it true, yes it's true enough
I guessCome join the chorus of the unimpressed
Is it true, yes it's true enough
I guessSometimes it's better to be second best
Second best, second best, second best, second best
Second best, second best, second best, second best
