Beggars & Hangers-On

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
