Slouching Towards Bethlehem - Eliza Gilkyson

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…
