Secondhand Movement

Second hands moving

Dollars and re-distribution at work

Imagine a UFO

With New and Old Money both sipping

Napolean-soaked wine

See them through the little beaded windows

Sending a tractor beam down

Into Fort Knox

Dollars and re-distribution at work

 

You know I wore your shoes

And you wore mine

Neither were truly ours

They were practically forced upon us

Yet I said what you said to me

"Stop whining, they're a great fit"

I didn't read the instructions that said

Very finely

That in due time, I too, would have to try them

Now we hobble outside, crippled

staring at a fleeing UFO and screaming

Tomorrow we'll be labeled conspiracy theorists

Ironically, by each other as much as by anyone

On the news

 

Second hands moving

We've sentenced them to contribute towards tracking

The pointlessness of time

Wasted

By Secondhand movement
