INTRO:
The man of the moment is just way ahead of his time,
could be why you see just distance in his eyes
Riff 1 F C
he could be watching ashes grow,
Riff 1 F C G
where all your best seeds were just now sown
but for all I know there's far more I don't
New rays of light must fight for a place between the leaves
so son don't seem surprised to find no shade beneath this tree
Riff 1 F C
just like Abe you can't think twice
Riff 1 F C G
when offered your piece of the franchise
now every kid expects a birthright
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver
hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
what's the measure of a man, made to measure
It's some privilege to claim that only the strong survive -
if you can choose the time and place and what you'll sacrifice
Riff 1 F C
we'll all get our piece of the dream
Riff 1 F C G
and the have-nots will have to take another hit for the team
well that's just how it's always been
It went something like - garden, tree, Adam and Eve, and Father, pray,
forgive.
But if I never hear that shit again I'll live and live and live
Riff 1 F C
and whatever made the world go round before
Riff 1 F C G
is probably what will keep it going round after they're gone
but for all I know there's much more I don't
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver
hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
what's the measure of a man, made to measure
made to measure
OUTRO:
repeat a few times then finish on Am
