The Beast Songtext

von Angus & Julia Stone

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
Words from the king that no one wants to hear

Don't be running late
Are you on time today (x4)

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

Don't be running late, are you on time today (x4)
Don't be running late, are you on time today (x4)
(Don't be running late)

Don't be running late (till the end)
