Beggars and 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

Ooh, nervous twitchin' in my head

God help me rid this feeling'

'Cause I’m falling 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 everywhere 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 feeling'

'Cause I’m falling' 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 day’s are far behind me

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, no no, no no

No no, no no, no no, no no

No no, no no, no no, no no

No no, no no
