Hand-me-down Lyrics

A hand-me-down shirt in case I go outside

A hand-me-down bed so I can sleep tonight

A hand-me-down chair to do my thinking in

Hand-me-down songs from someone up the stairs

And hand-me-down habits, shit my daddy did

Hand-me-down trash beneath a rusty lid

Hand-me-down love, the kind I've seen before

Well, hand me down a wrench, I'm gonna break this door

But I'll never break new grounds this way

Re-runs of things that no one really liked

Refurbished furniture from the last century

That's all there is to the life that's left for me

And hand-me-down cars that keep running out of gas

Hand-me-down shopping malls that weren't built to last

Hand-me-down trophies dusty on the shelf

Hand-me-down dreams thought up by someone else

And hand-me-down homes, the pipes will burst in two

Hand-me-down records that made me think of you

Hand-me-down laws that no one thought to change

Hand-me-down days that always feel the same

But I'll never break new grounds this way

Cuz nobody really likes the things that go on today

And everything we could change feels so hard to discuss

But that's the way of the life that was left for us
