Beggars & Hangers-on

(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
