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