Second Best

If all I am
Is second best
Then let it be

If I fall a little short
If I’m not first
Then let it be

Second best is not that bad
When I compare it to fools like you
Arrogant air
You turn up your nose
Think you’re better
While I’m just second best

Look around and see
Everyone striving
To be on top
Backstabbing liars
Cutting underhanded deals
Repressing others for their gain
When will the madness stop?

 

 

They’re all destroying themselves, you see
And that’s just not the life for me
So scavenge and savage and sit on your throne
If second best is all I’ll be
Compared to you, that’s fine with me

Author's Note

Yeah...This kind of came out of no where. It's not really that good, but oh well.
