Beggars & Hangers-On - Slash

Well I know you couldn't love me

Cause you're 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 I'm fallin' all 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' all 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
