Barenaked Ladies - Second Best [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge 1]
Is it true? Well it's true enough I guess
Join the chorus of the second best

[Chorus]
Second best

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Perhaps it's just as well
That I still look like hell
At least the world can tell us apart

[Bridge 3]
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

[Chorus]
