Corduroy - Pearl Jam

The waiting drove me mad...
You're finally here and I'm a mess.
I take your entrance back.
Can't let you roam inside my head.

I don't want to take what you can't give.
I would rather starve than eat your bread.
I would rather run but I can't walk.
Guess I'll lie alone just like before.

I'll take the varmint's path,
Oh and I must refuse your test.
A-push me and I will resist.
This behavior's not unique.

I don't want to hear from those who know.
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to limp for them to walk.
Never would have known of me before.
I don't want to be held in your debt.
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed.
I'm already cut up and half dead.
I'll end up alone like I began.

Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed.
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture.

I don't want to take what you can't 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 it's free.
Can't be what you want because I'm...

I ain't s'posed to be just fun.
Oh, to live and die, let it be done.
I figure I'll be damned - all alone like I began...
