[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]
