Would Not Be Denied - Buffalo Tom

Would Not Be Denied Lyrics

Would not be released
Could not be denied
I tried to say the words
But got tripped up insideYou can murder them with guns
Poison them with a lye
You can take a person's life
But you can't squelch his prideThis city's not my own
This world is not my home
But I'll carry it on my back
As far as my feet will roamI opened up my eyes
I offered up my coat
I opened up my mouth
But knots tied in my throatI will not be denied
Will not be deniedIf not for my innocence
My guilt would stop right here
Reliving all my life
In the span of just one yearMy mouth's a hurricane
But something inside just died

I'd always just assumed
My evil would subsideCould I have been misled
Could you have misread
Please don't punish me
For things I have not saidThe lasts a lonely mile
I'll remember it for a while
You'll never speak to me
Unless it's to revileBut I will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be deniedDenied, denied
