Stand tall for the beast of America
Lay down like a naked dead body
Keep it real
For the people working overtime
They can't stay living off the government's dime
Stand tall for the people of America
Stand tall for the man next door
We are free in the land of America
We ain't going down like this
Come on, now
Come on
Come on, people
What?
Stand tall for the beast of America
Lay down like a naked dead body
Keep it real For the people working overtime
They can't stay living off the government's dime
Stand tall for the people of America
Stand tall for the man next door
We are free in the land of America
We ain't going down like this
Come on, now
Come on, people
Come on, people
Come on, people
What?
Come on, people
Come on, people
Come on, people
I will be right to you
I will be right to you
I will be right to you
And together we can stand up to the beast
You see
Suppression is a mother fucking prison
And I hand you the key to your cell
You've got to love your neighbor
Love your neighbor
And let your neighbor love you back
Come on, now
Stand tall for the beast of America
Lay down like a naked dead body
Keep it real
For the people working overtime
They can't stay living off the government's dime
Stand tall for the people of America
Stand tall for the man next door
We are free in the land of America
We ain't going down like this
Come on, now
About This Song
"Beast" is a fierce political protest song that confronts systemic oppression and economic inequality in America through raw, rebellious energy. The lyrics paint a dystopian picture of a society where working-class people struggle under government dependency while children are medicated and manipulated, using the metaphor of a "beast" to represent corrupt power structures. Musically, the track features Nico Vega's signature blend of alternative rock with folk-punk intensity, driven by Aja Volkman's powerful, almost primal vocals that shift from haunting whispers to explosive battle cries. The song's call to "rock the king in the beast" serves as both a literal musical directive and a metaphorical rallying cry for revolution, making it a standout anthem of defiance that captures the band's ability to channel political anger into cathartic rock music.
