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