Lately, my insecurity has got me paralyzed
Look in the Mirror It's getting clearer
I've got those enigmatic manhunt eyes
Feelin' humble, Just like Barney Rubble
I'm just a part of someone else's show
Don't wanna be the guy who has to die,
in the middle of a Star Trek episode

I don't wanna go on like Frank Stallone
Don't wanna be Second Best
I don't wanna be your Second Best

I go to parties, trying to be smart
I practice lines I try to show some wit
No matter how I say it, nobody takes the bait
And I end up in the corner eating chips
Don't wanna go through life with my (Rolling 25?)
Always playing second fiddle to the man
Why can't I be the best? Not like all the rest
Not the professor, I am Mary Ann

I don't wanna be like Andrew Wrigley
Don't wanna be Second Best
I don't wanna be your Second Best
I don't wanna go on like Don Oates
Just second best

Everytime I turn around, I'm Art Garfunkeled out
Don't wanna be Second Best
