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 

But I don't want your charity 
Twisting me round 
I don't want your charity 
Keeping me down... 

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 

But I don't want your charity 
Twisting me round 
I don't want your charity 
Keeping me down... 

You pity me with your tasteless gestures 
Gratitude for kind 
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives 
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind 

But I don't want your charity 
Twisting me round 
I don't want your charity 
Keeping me down... 

But I don't want your charity 
Twisting me round 
I don't want your charity 
Keeping me down...
