LYRICS


This is a snippet of some of the lyrics to the single. For the full lyrics from Skin's (the lead singer) official site, see here


Verse 1


''Why do I sense, benevolence''
''You stand tall at my great expense''
''Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay''
''Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say''


Chorus


''But I don't want your charity''
''Twisting me round''
''I don't want your charity''
''Keeping me down''
