(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.
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
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.
Living in a hand-me-down shoe.
