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