What kind of beast comes slouching What kind of beast comes slouching What kind of beast comes slouching Slouching towards Bethlehem? People get ready cause it won't be long Before the hurricane will be blowin strong And the chance to rise will be come and gone When he's slouchin towards Bethlehem What kind of beast... He's comin in the name of hunger Draggin all the poor folks under Who stands behind him I wonder Slouchin towards Bethlehem What kind of beast... He's comin in the name of high finance Corporations, religion and violence Countin on collusion and silence Slouchin towards Bethlehem What kind of beast... You better stand with your shoulder to the wheel You better band together at the top of the hill You better blow that horn much louder still When he's slouchin towards Bethlehem What kind of beast...
