Beggars and Hangers On (Live from Guitar Center)

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 feeling

'Cause I've fallen 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

Cloudin' everything you see

Beggars and hangers-on

They try to 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 so damn unfair

It's better days are far behind me

I guess that's another cross I'll have to bear

I know that there's a time and a reason

To take that ghost and lock it up inside

And maybe I'm now down, but I'm not beaten, no

And like anything, we were born, we were born to die, that's right

Beggars and hangers-on

Try to take you from me

Someone with a Bible in his pocket

Cloudin' everything you see

Beggars and hangers-on

They try to chip it away

Bury your soul in the river

'Cause the end is here to stay, oh yeah

I see you see someone, darlin'

How can you play with my heart, yeah?

No-no-no-no, hey

No-no-no-no

No-no-no-no

No-no-no-no, I gotta stay
