[Verse]
In the thick of it
A despicable twist
My rival on the ridge
Clutch my butter knife
My one chance at life
Guess I'm up for one last fight
[Chorus]
I fought, I fought so hard
For second place, for second place
I fought, I fought so hard, so hard
I fought, I fought so hard
For second place, for second place
I fought, I fought so hard, so hard
[Bridge]
Crawl across the line
I made it just in time
Then I look up to see their so debonair (oh no)
[Chorus]
I fought, I fought so hard
For second place, for second place
I fought, I fought so hard, so hard
I fought, I fought so hard
For second place, for second place
I fought, I fought so hard, so hard
