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
