Second Hand News Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know there's nothing to say
Someone has taken my place
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff?

[Verse 2]
I know I got nothing on you
I know there's nothing to do
When times go bad
And you can't get enough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff?

[Verse 3]
One thing I think you should know
I am not going to miss you when you go
Been down so long
I've been tossed around enough
Couldn't you just
Let me go down and do my stuff?

[Verse 4]
I know you're hoping to find
Someone who's going to give you piece of mind
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff?
[Outro]
I'm just second hand news
I'm just second-hand news, yeah
I'm just second hand news
I'm just second-hand news, yeah
I'm just second hand news
I'm just second-hand news, yeah
I'm just second hand news
I'm just second-hand news, yeah
Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
