"Second" lyrics

"Second"

Ah!
Ah!

Second
Second
Second
Second

Why am I second to the boots I wear?
Why am I second to my coat and hair?
Why am I second to the car I got?
My watch, and my jeans, and my polo top?

Second
Second
Second
Second

Why am I second to the holiday I book?
The color of my skin when I get there drunk?
Why am I second to the bread I buy?
The coffee beans roasted at a heat I like?

Second
Second
Second
Second
I said

Two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Second, third, fourth, fifth
Sixth, seven, eighth, ninth, tenth
Two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Second, third, fourth, fifth
Sixth, seven, eighth, ninth, tenth

Second
Second
Second
Second

Why am I second to the guilt in me?
Why am I second to its big genie?
Why am I second to the mess out there?
Of a landscape starved of a real care

Second
Second
Second
Second
I said

Second just below first
In a landscape gunnin' for obedience
Second just below first
In a landscape gunnin' for obedience
I'm in no state
Just a state
For ranking
For ranking
I said

Second just below first
In a landscape gunnin' for obedience
Second just below first
In a landscape gunnin' for obedience
I'm in no state
Just a state
For ranking
For ranking

Two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Second, third, fourth, fifth
Sixth, seven, eighth, ninth, tenth
Two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Second, third, fourth, fifth
Sixth, seven, eighth, ninth, tenth
I said
Second
