Beggars And Hangers-On (Slash, Dover, McKagan) Songtext
von Slash’s Snakepit

Well I know
You couldn′t love me
Cause you're promised
To a wealthy man
Take a look
What are you seein′?
Should I go to see a healer

Nervous twitchin' in my hands

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 & hangers-on


Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible
In his pocket
Clouding everywhere you see
Beggars & hanger-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
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 & hangers-on


Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible
In his pocket
Clauding everything you see
Beggars & hangers-on
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
Cause the end is here to stay
Begars & hangers-on
Beggars & hangers-on

No no no no
No no no no

No no no no
