Pearl Jam - Corduroy
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 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 firmest path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist
This behaviour’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
And I’ll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
And I’m already cut up and half dead
I’ll end up alone, like I began
Everything has changed
Absolutely nothing’s changed
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture I don’t want to 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 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
It’s your move now
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I
I guess I hate you
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 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 firmest path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist
This behaviour’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
And I’ll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
And I’m already cut up and half dead
I’ll end up alone, like I began
Everything has changed
Absolutely nothing’s changed
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture I don’t want to 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 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
It’s your move now
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I
I guess I hate you
