lyrics

Try to be best because you’re only a man
And a man’s got to learn to take it
Try to believe, though the going gets rough
That you got to hang tough to make it

History repeats itself. Try and you’ll succeed
Never doubt that you’re the one and you can have your dreams
History repeats itself. Try and you’ll succeed
Never doubt that you’re the one and you can have your dreams

You’re The Best Around
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best Around
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down

I don't know, man maybe my opinion is biased
But when the rain pours somehow you remain the driest
Staying indoors? Sure one way to go by it
But that’s not what you do, you’re the trident

That three pronged fork. The wisest, most vibrant
Keeping the tides of the sea on course
Often silent, but that’s just your way
Of taking the higher ground against a sea-sawed horse

You epitomize every creature who wanted to breath but didn’t try
Every fish who saw the bait but didn’t bite
We wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for your consistent guide
So I applaud you for being a resource

When I resort to depression, you’re right there to retort
A shoulder to cry on, advisor to lean toward
No matter the nests of Lochness I’ve found
You’re the modest, Best Around

Fight ‘til the end cause your life will depend
On the strength that you have inside you
Ah you got to be proud, staring out in the cloud
When the odds in the game defy you

Try your best to win them all and one day time will tell
When you’re the one that’s standing there
You’ll reach the final bell

You’re The Best (Wax on) Around (Wax off)
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best Around
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down (Wax on, wax off)

I don't know, man maybe you exist to keep eyes on the prize
And help others rise from the sea-floor
You seemingly see more in one day
Than those who witness lifetimes behind a screen door

Protection from the gnats and flies
Is a benefit when enacted right but therein lies a recourse
That Poseidon-all seeing eye who leads all forth
From the ocean’s depth to the seashore

You exemplify every t-shirt with a bolded phrasing, fitted right
Every motivating poster saying, "Live your life"
We wouldn't survive without your lasting light
So I applaud you for being a mentor

When we drown in depression you’re right there to resound
One to rely on, a reason to feel proud
No matter the hell that conscience compounds
You’re the honest, Best Around

Fight until you drop. Never stop
Can’t give up until you reach the top
You’re the best in town (Fight!)
You're the best in town (Fight!)

Listen to that sound
A little bit of all you got can never bring you down
You’re the best in town (Fight!)
You're the best in town (Fight!)

You’re The Best (Wax on) Around (Wax off)
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re The Best Around
Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down (Wax on, wax off)
