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 guess
join the chorus of the second best
second best [several times]
what's left of you that's real
a mutated ideal
with limited appeal, i suggest
if 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 guess
you're an angel in a see-through dress
is it true, yes it's true enough i guess
second best [several times]
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 guess
come join the chorus of the unimpressed
is it true, yes it's true enough i guess
sometimes it's better to be second best
second best [several times] |
