The Best Lyrics
[Intro]
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
[Verse 1]
I'm hardly perfect
I'm barely good
Just shy of greatness, ah-ah
I'm heavy metal
And hollow wood
Just shy of patience, ah-ah
[Chorus]
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
[Verse 2]
Oh, doctor, doctor
I have no clue
Of modern beauty, ah-ah
So fix my face up
With diet glue
And science fiction, ah-ah
[Chorus]
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
[Chorus]
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
[Outro]
(Yeah)

What did AWOLNATION say about "The Best"?
The band released a video explaining the meaning of the song a week after it’s release, with Aaron saying:
The first song on the record is called “The Best.” I came to the realization that I’ll never be the best at anything so I thought I’d write a song about it. But also hope that it would motivat...
What have artists said about the song?
It occurred to me that when I was starting to come up with the concept of the song, the melody, the blueprint of it rhythmically, all that, that I’m hard on myself. I’m my own worst critic. It’s unhealthy how much pressure we put on ourselves. “The Best” is the opposite of the “Eye of the Tiger” or...
