[Verse 1]
B E A F#
See the cracks upon the wall, we do not know the meaning of it all
B E A F#
Ain't no fire to warm my feet, ain't got a nickel for a bite to eat
B E
We're not workin', we're not slavin'
B E
Ain't worth a brain, 'cause we're not worth savin'
[Chorus]
B E C# F#
Second hand people, tall as a steeple
B E A F# E B
Softer than treacle, in a pond are we, second hand people
[Verse 1]
B E A F#
Ain't no mirror to comb my face, just keep on going from place to place
B E A F#
Ain't got no lights above my head, don't even bother to leave my bed
B E
We're not livin', we're existin'
B E
We're not movin', just resistin'
[Chorus]
B E C# F#
Second hand people, tall as a steeple
B E A F# E B
Softer than treacle, in a pond are we, second hand people
[Outro]
E B E B
Tall as a steeple, softer than treacle...
