(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1970)
From the albums DOWN HOME (1970) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).
The world we know is living in a hand-me-down shoe, a hand-me-down shoe.
And don`t you know that the shoe don`t fit. Maybe there`s a hole in it.
We can`t walk so we must sit while the world goes on, and on.
Living in a hand-me-down shoe.
The world we know is thinking with a hand-me-down brain, hand-me-down brain.
Insane because it bubbles like the rain causes puddles. Maybe there`s no soul to it.
We can`t walk so we must sit while the world goes on, and on.
Living with a hand-me-down brain.
Can`t cha tell that everybody`s leavin`, dyin` everyday.
Tryin` to get just anywhere as long as it`s away, from the world.
The world we know is living in a hand-me-down shoe, a hand-me-down shoe.
And don`t you know that the shoe don`t fit. Maybe there`s a hole in it.
We can`t walk so we must sit while the world goes on, and on.
