Beggars & Hangers-on Lyrics - Singles - Snakepit

(Slash/Eric Dover/Duff McKagan) 

Well I know, you couldnt love me 

Cause youre promised to a wealthy man 

Take a look, what are you seein ? 

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 Im fallin all to pieces 

And I cnat 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 Im fallin all to pieces 

And I cant get out of bed 

I was wrong 

I dont need you 

It seems reckless 

And unfair 

Better days 

Are far behind 

Guess thats another cross 

Ill have to bear 

I know that theres a time 

and a reason 

To take the ghost and lock it up inside 

And maybe I am down 

But Im 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
