Skunk Anansie - An Acoustic Skunk Anansie - Live in London

Charity

Why do I sense
Ambivolence?
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
Brought things to order
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
Oh, you keepin' me down
Oh

You pity me with your
Tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind

Oh, but your bludgeoned
Intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind

Screwing with my mind
Oh
Oh

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

I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
I don't want your charity
I don't want your charity

Twisting me round
(Oh you're keeping me down)
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down
Down
Keeping me down
Down
Your charity, is keeping me
Keeping me down
