I keep hearing this awesome band on CBC Radio 2, and this song really grabbed me...so much that I had to look it up as well as the lyrics. Now an instant fan! I think the song is about inheriting your parents traits no matter if you like them or not. Here are the lyrics...(I personally "went through 5 schools before I was 17" It really sucked.) You went through five schools, before you were 17 I can only guess what those brown eyes have seen If we're just a blank state mixed with a little bit of DNA And those weekend visits when he'd show up late When I feel helpless, I see you smiling back at me Like every little thing is gonna be okay Ya you're a tough kid, way tougher than me I'll put a bet on you any day Ooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right Ooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town From the clothes on your back, to the color of your eyes Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh No, it never made sense, but it's the only thing that you know That resentment well it comes and goes In your daddy's defence, he never really stood a chance You should see where he came from And ? his brothers ended up? We get all stuck, but babe You've been acting reckless, to deal with the pain I just hope you don't get carried away And you wear this necklace, from graduation day You said "I'll wear this chain, 'cause I'm breaking it Yeah, I'll wear this chain, 'cause I'm breaking it" Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right Ooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh First of the month, gets you stressed out And moving trucks, bring you right back Deep in the cut, there's a voice that's calling out, saying: It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh Ain't no shame in some hand me downs Oh oh oh Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Same as you, I heard this on the radio while driving and the lyrics grabbed on to me - even though I don't really relate on a personal level, the lyrics paint such a vivid picture. It's a great song.

Dear band that made this song, your intrusive and I don’t even like this song but I admit it’s been stuck in my head for awhile it’s catchy but it sucks go away stop violating my thoughts

Here are the lyrics...(I personally "went through 5 schools before I was 17" It really sucked.)
You went through five schools, before you were 17
I can only guess what those brown eyes have seen
If we're just a blank state mixed with a little bit of DNA
And those weekend visits when he'd show up late
When I feel helpless, I see you smiling back at me
Like every little thing is gonna be okay
Ya you're a tough kid, way tougher than me
I'll put a bet on you any day
Ooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
Ooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
From the clothes on your back, to the color of your eyes
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
No, it never made sense, but it's the only thing that you know
That resentment well it comes and goes
In your daddy's defence, he never really stood a chance
You should see where he came from
And ? his brothers ended up?
We get all stuck, but babe
You've been acting reckless, to deal with the pain
I just hope you don't get carried away
And you wear this necklace, from graduation day
You said "I'll wear this chain, 'cause I'm breaking it
Yeah, I'll wear this chain, 'cause I'm breaking it"
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
Ooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
First of the month, gets you stressed out
And moving trucks, bring you right back
Deep in the cut, there's a voice that's calling out, saying:
It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing
It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing
It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing
It's out of reach I gotta keep chasing
Oooh, when your head gets dizzy and you can't get right
Oooh, but ya push on through, don't be denied
Shake off those ghosts in every corner of this town
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
From the clothes on your back, to the colour of your eyes
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs
Oh oh oh
Ain't no shame in some hand me downs

Perfect. Was just wondering what a shittier Gaslight Anthem would sound like.
Dear band that made this song, your intrusive and I don’t even like this song but I admit it’s been stuck in my head for awhile it’s catchy but it sucks go away stop violating my thoughts
Ugh cringe, the worst thing to come out of canada since the Beibs...

John must be some kind of music version of gordon ramsey except he actually doesn't want the lamb sauce..... NO ONE'S PERFECT. Bet John's real name is josh...ugh
