Use It Up, Wear It Out (Remix)

I use it up, wear it out

Make it do, or do without

We hold on tight, you never know what you'll need

Cause hard times teach you what life's about

We come from a home that never throws away

A piece of plywood or stereo from yesterday

We fix what's broken till it's shining like new

Cause times get tough but our love sees us through

No matter how worn, we'll find a way

To keep it going for one more day

Use it up, wear it out

Make it do, or do without

We hold on tight, you never know what you'll need

Cause hard times teach you what life's about

Use it up, wear it out

Make it do, or do without

Daddy sold his bike to buy his bus ticket to school

Scraping by on faith, living by the golden rule

He showed me how to make the most of what you've got

Taught me how to find treasure in what the world forgot

We've learned every scrap can be turned into gold (gold)

Those leaner days shape how our story unfolds (unfolds)

Though life has moved on, we hold on to what's real (what's real)

Our hearts hold the truth that the world cannot steal (steal)

Use it up, wear it out

Make it do, or do without

We hold on tight, you never know what you'll need

Cause hard times teach you what life's about

Use it up, wear it out

Make it do, or do without

Cause hard times teach you what life's about

Use it up

Wear it out

Make it do

Or do without

Cause hard times teach you what life's about

Use it up, wear it out

Make it do, or do without
