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
It's good to see you in this wilderness
What's left of you that's real?
A mutated ideal
With limited appeal, I suggest
There's a sale on body parts
You're filling up your cart
Is that still your own heart beneath that chest?
Is it you?
Well, it's you enough, I guess
You're a statue of Los Angeles
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
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
Morning often finds me unimpressed
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
Uh, uh
