Charity lyrics
by Skunk Anansie
[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
[Refrain]
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
[Verse 2]
Why does your world keep burying
Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been
Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt
[Refrain]
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
Oh, keeping me down
[Bridge]
You pity me with your tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind
[Refrain]
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
I don't want your charity, oh charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
[Outro]
I don't want your, don't want your, don't want your charity
Keeping me down
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down, down
Keeping me down, down, down
Your charity, it's keeping me
Keeping me down
