Nature Of The Beast

The Goddamn Gallows

Compositor: Mike Dehlin

Preacher...
Preacher’s hands are sticky, sinned with greed
Jesus...
Jesus’s just a man who needs belief
Hearin’ lies on which your head will feed
You know it’s just the nature of the beast
You don’t do what you’re told
When you’re rollin’ down that lonesome road
Forever
From the mountains to the sea

Businessman...
Linin’ all his pockets with your dreams
Workin’ man...
Keepin’ all the hope alive it seems

Hearin’ lies on which your head will feed
You know it’s just the nature of the beast
You don’t do what you’re told
When you’re rollin’ down that lonesome road
Forever
From the mountains to the sea

(Yodel)
Lawman...
Makin’ livin’ hard for you and me
Soldier...
Takin’ orders from those who mislead

Hearin’ lies on which your head will feed
You know it’s just the nature of the beast
You don’t do what you’re told
When you’re rollin’ down that lonesome road
Forever
From the mountains to the sea
You know it’s just the nature of the beast
