Corduroy (Live at Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia - March 5, 1998) lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here, and I'm a mess
Take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head

[Chorus 1]
I don't wanna take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I don't wanna run, but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

[Verse 2]
I'll take the varmint's path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

[Chorus 2]
I don't wanna hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't wanna limp for them to walk
Never would have known of mе before
I don't wanna be hеld in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
Will end up alone like I began
[Bridge]
Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture

[Chorus 3]
I don't wanna take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't buy what I want because she's in Fiji
Can't be what they want because...

[Verse 3]
It's supposed to be just fun
Never to be tried nor be judged
I figure I'll be damned
All alone like I began

[Guitar Solo]
