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 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 [? 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 masses 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 [Outro] 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
