The Best

You should be the trophy light

But be careful with your prejudice and spite

The small little drip on the strip tells me that you're alright

I put my hand on your heart so you won't feel so uptight

But we bleed and we walk to the stars on the block

We fall on the ground lying on our backs

And we think that we are the best, the best

but we're not, there's so many, better than you and me

I think about us when they tell me to feel

I ask myself the question again, are you real

Do you know the depths of my circumstance

And do you smile at all when we dance, when we dance

And we dance and we lie and we steal and we fight

And we talk, we talk around and round and round and round

And we think that we are the best, the best

but we're not, there's so many, better than you and me

Maybe I'll write you a letter, but you won't listen anyway

Maybe that'll make you feel better, and give me something more to say

But if I'm the bad guy, and if you're the bad guy

Then we're the bad guys

Now I'm the old beggar sitting at the edge of my seat

They can't take it with us they say

But I never think we had it anyway

No I never think we had it anyway

And we walk and we fall on the end of the block

In the same old style and the same old fear

And we think that we are all the best, the best

but we're not, there's so many, better than you and me

And we think we are all the best

And we think we are all the best

but none of us are the best.
