Nothin' to say 
When times go bad 
When times go rough 
Lay me down 
And know I got nothin' 
 
I know there's nothin' 
Times go bad 
Can't get enough 
Lay me down 
And let me miss you 
 
Been down so long 
Tossed around enough 
Just let me go  
 
I know you're someone who's gonna  
lay me down in the tall grass 
And let me do it, do it, do it 
 
I'm second hand news, yeah 
I'm just second hand news 
 
 
Original Lyrics ▼ 
I know there's nothin' 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 
I know I got nothin' on you 
I know there's nothin' 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 
One thing I think you should know 
I ain't gonna miss you when you go 
Been down so long 
I've been tossed around enough 
Aww, couldn't you just 
Let me go down and do my stuff 
I know you're hopin' to find 
Someone who's gonna give you peace of mind 
When times go bad 
When times go rough 
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass 
And let me do my stuff 
Do it, do it, do it 
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
