[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]

Tall as a steeple, softer than treacle...
