Lyrics
The Beast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I said I know hunger and hate
It would be a lie
I've tried my best to assimilate
But now I'd rather die
You try to tell me that how I feel
Is hurtful and so wrong
You treat me as though I'm the beast
And tell me that I don't belong
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me I should step aside
Don't tell me to accept the things that shouldn't be
Don't tell me how to live my life
If I said now that I believe
Would you leave me alone
Or would you keep on molding me
To your perfect little clone
Or would you whisper behind my back
And turn away from me
Like a sickness in society
A mind that cannot be
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me to believe your lies
Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me who to be
Don't tell me how to live my life
Don't tell me not to hate
Don't tell me I don't see
The people that destroy my society
Don't tell me I am wrong
Or I don't understand
Your political correctness
Is so out of hand
