They grin but they don't mean it
|
They sing but they don't feel it
|
They're gone but they don't see it
|
They can call but they can't heed it
|
They think but they don't speak it
|
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
|
And they all feed it
|
|
Stop a moment, try to freeze it
|
They find and they don't seek it
|
At the bar but they can't meet it
|
Try their best but they can't beat it
|
Nice car, somebody keys it
|
There's a beast easting every bit of beauty
|
And yes they feed it
|
|
I'm not a finger pointer
|
I will not cry your name
|
For yeah brothers and sisters
|
We are one 'n' the same
|
But when my sister suffers
|
And when my mother cries
|
All I want to do
|
Is look in someone's eyes and say
|
|
You sleep but you don't dream it
|
You're sly but you don't seem it
|
You're busy as a flea pit
|
You struggle to perceive it
|
It is hard to believe it
|
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
|
And yes you feed it
|
|
I'm not a finger pointer
|
I will not cry your name
|
For yeah brothers and sisters
|
We are one 'n' the same
|
But when my sister suffers
|
And when my mother cries
|
All I want to do
|
Is look in someone's eyes and say
|
|
Somehow we'd better speak it
|
We're scared someone will tweet it
|
It's on the wall but you won't read it
|
It's gone before you see it
|
We all dread to repeat it
|
There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
|
And yes we all feed it
|

There's A Beast And We All Feed It
