| 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 bit to ear
|
| 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 … |
