Beast Lyrics

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'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 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 man who's sick - But I got class
'Coz you only get respect - When you're kickin' ass
Non-compliance - Non-aggressive
Non-contagious - Non-involvement
Non-productive - Non-religious
Non-resistant - Non-subjective

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow... no one's commented on this? This is one of my favorite KMFDM songs. I love the organ in the intro.

The lyrics seem to be fairly straight forward.

It seems to me like this is the title track on the album. Nihil means nothing in like latin or something, but with all the I's it seem that this is referring to Nihilism. The lyrics fit perfectly.
