Buffalo Tom Lyrics
"Would Not Be Denied"

Would not be released

Could not be denied

I tried to say the words

But got tripped up inside

You can murder them with guns

Poison them with a lye

You can take a person's life

But you can't squelch his pride

This 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 roam

I opened up my eyes

I offered up my coat

I opened up my mouth

But knots tied in my throat

I will not be denied

Will not be denied

If not for my innocence

My guilt would stop right here

Reliving all my life

In the span of just one year

My mouth's a hurricane

But something inside just died

I'd always just assumed

My evil would subside

Could I have been misled

Could you have misread

Please don't punish me

For things I have not said

The lasts a lonely mile

I'll remember it for a while

You'll never speak to me

Unless it's to revile

But I will not be denied

Will not be denied

Will not be denied

Will not be denied

Denied, denied
