Second Best Lyrics

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
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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/second-best-lyrics-barenaked-ladies.html ] You're an angel in a see-through dress Is it true, yes it's true enough I guess
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, 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
