Second Hand People

See the cracks upon the wall

We do not know the meaning of it all

Ain't no fire to warm my feet

Ain't got a nickel for a bite to eat

We're not workin', we're not slavin'

Ain't worth a brain, 'cause we're not worth savin'

Second hand people, tall as a steeple

Softer than treacle, in a pond are we

Second hand people

Ain't no mirror to comb my face

Just keep on going from place to place

Ain't got no lights above my head

Don't even bother to leave my bed

We're not livin', we're existin'

We're not movin', just resistin'

Second hand people, tall as a steeple

Softer than treacle, in a pond are we

Second hand people, tall as a steeple

Softer than treacle....
