latyrx - the beast lyrics
[verse 1]
the [? betterment] 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 b-tton 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 [? forward]
now every aspect of your life feels its blunt force
you’re pinned back against the wall with no recourse
[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
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 [? hung great heights at them]
greed makes m-sses a plunderous lot
greed is a trait we’ve come to honor
[chorus]
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
