Lyrics: The Beast

Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
No mercy with time

They brand you with the fire
Then push you into the sun
They want the free land to expire
They want everyone to be numb
The world's drinking from a cup
That no one wants to share
The words from the king
That no one wants to hear

Don't be running late
Are you on time today
Don't be running late
Are you on time today
Don't be running late
Are you on time today
Don't be running late
Are you on time today

Retrench me because of machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track marks under the sleeve
I can't talk I need to run
Love's thrown away the ring
Not knowing what to say
Mamma won't you sing
It's like you're cut by the blade

Don't be running late
Are you on time today
Don't be running late
Are you on time today
Don't be running late
Are you on time today
Don't be running late
Are you on time today
