Second Best

Second Best - Barenaked Ladies

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 Second best

Second best Second best

Second best Second best

Second best

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 is it true yes it's true enough I guess

Second best Second best

Second best Second best

Second best Second 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 guess

Come join the chorus of the unimpressed

Is it true is it true yes it's true enough I guess

Sometimes it's better to be second best

Second best Second best Second best Second best

Second best Second best Second best Second best

Second best Second best Second best Second best

Second best Second best Second best Second best
