There's A Beast And We All Feed It
They grin but they don't mean itThey sing but they don't feel itThey're gone but they don't see itThey can call but they can't heed itThey think but they don't speak itThere's a beast eating every bit of beautyAnd they all feed it
Stop a moment, try to freeze itThey find and they don't seek itAt the bar but they can't meet itTry their best but they can't beat itNice car, somebody keys itThere's a beast easting every bit of beautyAnd yes they feed it
I'm not a finger pointerI will not cry your nameFor yeah brothers and sistersWe are one 'n' the sameBut when my sister suffersAnd when my mother criesAll I want to doIs look in someone's eyes and say
You sleep but you don't dream itYou're sly but you don't seem itYou're busy as a flea pitYou struggle to perceive itIt is hard to believe itThere's a beast eating every bit of beautyAnd yes you feed it
I'm not a finger pointerI will not cry your nameFor yeah brothers and sistersWe are one 'n' the sameBut when my sister suffersAnd when my mother criesAll I want to doIs look in someone's eyes and say
Somehow we'd better speak itWe're scared someone will tweet itIt's on the wall but you won't read itIt's gone before you see itWe all dread to repeat itThere's a beast eating every bit of beautyAnd yes we all feed it
