The Beast |
| The lurches |
| It moves in fits and starts |
| What it touches it hurts |
| It’s made of the worstest parts |
| Of our language our soul our thirst our wants |
| It’s with our deepest greediest dreams |
| That it taunts us keeps us reaching |
| 'til we’re off balance sprawling |
| Like the stock market |
| More than once sucker punch it gives nothing |
| Yet takes all without a front |
| Fashion oil sweat blood guts and guns |
| Stars and Stripes all of the colors run white |
| Put your finger on the button it’ll be your last kiss goodnight |
| You can’t fight what you can’t see |
| Its heart pumps behind closed doors |
| Power and money it’s yours |
| It’s exactly what you voted for |
| Of course you only had two choices |
| And they were both |
| Now every aspect of your life feels its blunt force |
| You’re pinned back against the wall with no recourse |
| The Beast goes unchecked like the worldwide debt |
| Yes The rich get richer no sweat |
| All of us they try to downpress |
| We the people ain’t done yet |
| No |
| The Beast goes unchecked like the worldwide debt |
| Yes The rich get richer no sweat |
| All of us they try to downpress |
| We the people ain’t done yet |
| No |
| Moves at the speed of the rolling clouds |
| Like a beautiful woman in a flowing gown |
| Enveloping everything like woollen shroud |
| Then tightens like a python holding a mouse |
| Gradually your pulse starts slowing down |
| 'til your limbs feel cold and frozen now |
| Your whole body system broken down |
| Til the lights go off like a haunted house |
| Greed is an affliction |
| Greed is a disease |
| Greed is an addiction |
| Greed is a tease |
| Greed is a sweet tooth it can’t be appeased |
| Greed needs attention |
| Greed is a beast |
| Greed is the belief that our need for things |
| Completely supersedes all the things we need |
| We can’t see the enemy we’re fighting against |
| We just feel the pain and the side effects |
| We just feel the drain and the siphon’ing |
| Of our souls we sell for the the price of sin |
| Oil. |
| Gold. |
| A pint of flesh |
| All legal tenders in the times we live |
| Greed wreaks havoc on the lives of men |
| While angels we’ve |
| Greed makes masses a plunderous lot |
| Greed is a trait we’ve come to honor |
| The Beast goes unchecked like the worldwide debt |
| Yes The rich get richer no sweat |
| All of us they try to downpress |
| We the people ain’t done yet |
| No |
| The Beast goes unchecked like the worldwide debt |
| Yes The rich get richer no sweat |
| All of us they try to downpress |
| We the people ain’t done yet |
| No |
| The Beast |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah woah woah woah woah |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah woah woah woah woah |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah woah woah woah woah |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah oh |
| Oh woah woah woah woah woah |
