Can’t Break This Man

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I've lived in cold and freezin' snow Breathed the heat of steamin' cold And never ever be a part of me [Verse 2] I worked hard to 'scape the land Did my job at shakin' hands But can't stand the fake that makes of me [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I'm thirsty, standin' firmly But your purpose just can't concern me, man Though I know you'll take this personally [Chorus] 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 [Short Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] Not unfriendly, just unbendin' Can't you read the signal I'm sendin'? I don't care if I'm offendin' thee [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I'm thirsty, standin' firmly But your purpose just can't concern me, man Though I know you'll take this personally [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Outro]
