zach sands - hand-me-down lyrics
[verse]
something’s happening
i can feel it in my skin
something deep within
it’s like plate tectonics, man
they’ve got you hooked on phonics, yeah
oh, why can’t you see?
that this is fantasy
n0body’s really free
it’s just superstition
don’t believe in fiction
[pre+chorus]
but if we don’t own our own life
then who does?
and do we only do this just because?
but the way it is doesn’t have to be the way it was
[chorus]
live for today is what you say
as if life’s a game we play
do you believe the world we leave
should be better than it is today?
and if you don’t, then you should know
that we don’t want you around
telling the kids how to live
with your broken hand+me+down
this broken hand+me+down…
[verse]
act now, supplies are limited
with our hubris exhibited
our wounds are self+inflicted
when we k!ll to survive
n0body gets out alive
we live in future tense
where nothing quite makes sense
there is no picket fence
someone stole the pot of gold
when our future’s already been sold
[pre+chorus]
but if we don’t own our own life
then who does?
and do we only do this just because?
but the way it is doesn’t have to be the way it was
[chorus]
live for today is what you say
as if life’s a game we play
do you believe the world we leave
should be better than it is today?
and if you don’t, then you should know
that we don’t want you around
telling the kids how to live
with your broken hand+me+down
this broken hand+me+down…
[verse]
victims of circumstance
this is our last best chance
so don’t you say we can’t
when we’ve nothing left to lose
is when the beggars have to choose
together we are strong
we’ve known this all along
we know our right from wrong
this is not our destiny
this is not the way it has to be
[pre+chorus]
but if we don’t own our own life
then who does?
and do we only do this just because?
but the way it is doesn’t have to be the way it was
[chorus]
live for today is what you say
as if life’s a game we play
do you believe the world we leave
should be better than it is today?
and if you don’t, then you should know
that we don’t want you around
telling the kids how to live
with your broken hand+me+down
this broken hand+me+down…
