second prize
no me, no way, come back some other day
big fish, got away
ya didn't want it anyway
you gotta act like you're beaten
act like you're broken
act like you're lost and sit and cry

stay low, stay safe
take only easy breaks
you whine, you beg
yout tail between your legs
you gotta act like you mean it
act like you feel it
act like a man and don't just
sit at home and cry
cuz you're afriad to try
nothing's lost til it's been won
don't care what they say
don't care who you play
no one ever lost for fun

you're slow, you're sure
you'll get what you deserve
someone's gonna take the lead
who's not afraid of speed
you gotta act like you mean it
act like you feel it
act like a man and better
spare the alibis
you're just afraid to try
it might be gone when your time comes
don't care what they say
don't care how you play
no one ever lost for fun

(break)

act like you mean it
act like you feel it
act like a man and don't just
hope you get a turn
go to school to learn
then apply for second prize
let them criticize
you end up compromised
you find you're older but not wise
hold your head up head
keep the end in sight
being ready with your gun
don't care what they say
don't care how you play
no one ever lost for fun
