Beggars & Hangers On Lyrics - Singles - Slash's Snakepit

Well I know, you couldn't love me 

cause you're promised to a wealthy man 

take a look, what are you seeing? 

is that a noose or a wedding band 

Should i go to see a healer 

nervous twitchin' in my hands 

nervous twitchin' in my head 

God help me rid this feelin' 

cause i'm fallin' to pieces 

and i can't get out of bed 

Beggars and hangers-on 

try to take you from me 

someone with a bible in his pocket 

clouding everything you see 

Beggars and hangers-on 

they chip it away 

bury your soul in the river 

cause the end is here to stay 

God help me rid this feelin' 

cause i'm fallin' to pieces 

and i can't get out of bed 

I was wrong i don't need you 

it seems reckless and unfair 

better days 

are far behind 

guess that's another cross i'll have to bear 

I know that there's a time and a reason 

to take the ghost and lock it up inside 

and maybe i am down 

but i'm not beaten 

like anything 

we were born to die 

Beggars and hangers-on 

try to take you from me 

someone with a bible in his pocket 

clouding everything you see 

Beggars and hangers-on 

they chip it away 

bury your soul in the river 

cause the end is here to stay 

Beggars and hangers on 

beggars and hangers on 

no no no no 

no no no no 

no no no no
