Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Beggars and Choosers

Right before the aftermath, I saw where it would end

They said it was an accident, I guess that all depends

On who you talk to and who you know

And where you come from and where… where you go (where you go)

In your crowd of pushers and users

Takers and losers

Beggars and— beggars and—

Beggars and choosers

Your childhood days are over as you stuff your shirt and say

"Made a choice and wrong or right, it's this way I will stay"

You'll sell it to your children, you'll sell it to your wife

Buying is your business, and selling, it's your life

It's your life

In your crowd of pushers and users

Takers and losers

Beggars and— beggars and—

Beggars and choosers

The vultures are all circling around your window now

Scavengers, evangalists will get to you somehow

Your mother and your ex-best friend, letters that you never send

Your illegitimate children are coming for you now

They're always tracking you down, it's looking like a showdown

Between revenge and the ends you can't defend

Can you try to imagine, a story that has no end?

I think you'd better steal it while you still understand it

Sell it to one of your friends
