Lyrics
I've lived in cold and freezin' snow
Breathed the heat of steamin' cold
And never ever be a part of me
I worked hard to 'scape the land
Did my job at shakin' hands
But can't stand the fake that makes of me
Yeah, I'm thirsty, standin' firmly
But your purpose just can't concern me, man
Though I know you'll take this personally
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
I've been to hell and felt the pain
Smelt the smoke of melted flames
I know there ain't much lower one can go
It isn't me who's hurting you
I happen to have some work to do
I just need a little room so I can grow
Not unfriendly, just unbendin'
Can't you read the signal I'm sendin'?
I don't care if I'm offendin' thee
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
Yeah, I'm thirsty, standin' firmly
But your purpose just can't concern me, man
Though I know you'll take this personally
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
It doesn't mean that I hate you
Just 'cause I don't want you to do me no favours
No matter how hard you shake these hands
Can't break this man, can't break this man
