Eliza Gilkyson - Slouching Towards Bethlehem Lyrics

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...
