Beast
KMFDM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My youth is wasted
I'm evasive and vague
I'm a headless beast
I'm a subtle plague
I'm a cheatin' liar, I am naked terror
I hurt, I wound, I'm a fatal error
I don't make sense - I got my pride!
Don't need no meaning - I feel no shame!
I will not believe - I got no choice!
I'm out of control - And I love it!
I'm a non-believer
I refuse and resist
I don't play no more
I'm a terrorist
I'm a radical pig
I exploit and abuse
I am total chaos
Strange and abstruse
I'm a cheatin' liar, I am naked terror
I hurt, I wound, I'm a fatal error
I don't make sense - I got my pride!
Don't need no meaning - I feel no shame!
I will not believe - I got no choice!
I'm out of control - And the kids just love it!
I'm a man who's sick
But I got class
'Coz you only get respect
When you're kickin' ass
I don't make sense, but I got my pride
I need no meaning, I feel no shame
I will not believe that I got no choice
I'm out of control
But I love it
I don't make sense - I got my pride!
Don't need no meaning - I feel no shame!
I will not believe - I got no choice!
I'm out of control - And the kids just love it!

My favourite KMFDM track, gotta love that chorus.

@mystychrysmthehumanprism3507

This instantly takes me back to 16 & my first car as a kid exploring the seedy, drunken, drugged & dangerous parts of the city at night with this as the soundtrack. Mohawks, acid, pool tables in back for passed out junkies...

@tubeyourself3262

Yessss.... but I was 14 and obsessed. Had 13 of their CDs by the time I turned 16.
