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?

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?

Sixth, seven, eighth, ninth, tenth
Two, three, four, five

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 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
