Second Best (demo) Lyrics - 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 (several times)

What's left of you that's real 

A mutated ideal 

With limited appeal, I suggest 

If winning 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 

Photos 

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)
