Beast of Burden (Rolling Stones cover) Lyrics

I will be the least of your burdens...
my back is broken
my feet are hurtin
all I want is to drink..please fucking leave me alone.

I'll never be your beast of learning
I'm a stupid fuck I don't know nothing going on
All I want is to drink...maybe with just one other person

Am I hard enough?
Am I tough enough?
I don't give a fuck...
I just want to be dumb and happy like an AMERICAN
all I want is for you to make love to me.

that's just in the song...I don't mean it.

Oh my mind of presence to get ripped apart.
got this burning desire coming straight from my heart
suck you dry
suck you dry
suck me dry
suck this dry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a song by the Rolling Stones, featured on the 1978 album Some Girls. Obviously Eddie improvised some of his own lyrics on this version. A "beast of burden" is a semi-domesticated animal that labors for the benefit of man, such as oxen or horses. The music and some lyrics were primarily written by Keith Richards.
