Barenaked Ladies - Second Best (Demo) lyrics

[Verse 1] Everything's a lie We're all gonna die Before we say goodbye, let's attack [Verse 2] I admit it's bleak But I give it a week Until our friends the meek give it back [Chorus] Is it true? Well it's true enough I guess It's good to see you in this wilderness [Verse 3] What's left of you that's real A mutated ideal With limited appeal, I suggest [Verse 4] There's a sale on body parts You're filling up your cart Is that still your own heart? Meet that chest. [Chorus] 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 [x7] [Verse 5] Perhaps it's just as well That I still look like hell At least the world can tell us apart [Chorus] 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 [x15]
