Well hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down
Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down

Hand me down my evenin' news
Hand me down your point of view
Hand me down those rich man's wars
Hand me down what it's all for
Hand me down your politicians
Handed down by hypocrites
Hand me down false laws of man
Hand me down your latest brand

Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down
Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down

The good times came, good times gone
Hand me down what went wrong
Hand me down for I'm ashamed
Truth brings life and life brings slain

Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down
Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down

Hand me down my weekly tithe
Hand me down your thoughts on life
Hand me down that book to read
That's the handout that I need

Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down
Hand me down, hand me down
Come on, come on, hand me down

The good times came, good times gone
Hand me down what went wrong
Hand me down for I'm ashamed
Truth brings life and life brings slain

Won't you hand me down, hand me down
Hand me down
