Rick Rubin - There's A Beast And We All Feed It lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 eating every bit of beauty And yes they feed it [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] You sleep and 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 [Chorus] 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 I am my mother's child All I want to do Is look in someone's eyes and say [Verse 4] 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
