The Wallflowers - Hand Me Down lyrics

rate me

You won't ever amount to much

You won't be anyone

Now tell me what you are thinking of

How could you think you would be enough

It's not that you have stayed too long

And it's not that you've done something wrong

It's not your fault that you embarrass yourself

You're a hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good and look like you should

But you won't ever make us proud

You've been used by an army of kings

You've been touched by the lips of a queen

Now we've all made good use of you

But you won't be needed again

So why don't you move and let someone else in

And make some room for a new harlequin

'cause you never know when you'll disappoint us again

You're a hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good and look like you should

But you won't ever make us proud

Now hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good and look like you should

But you could never make us proud

Hand me down

Now look at you

With your worn out shoes

Living proof evolution's through

We're stuck with you

This revolution's doomed

'cause you're a hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good and you look like you should

But you could never make us proud

You're a hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good and you look like you should

But you won't ever make us proud
