Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody was born in it
Sure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
'Bout, 'bout whether or not they're full of it
[Verse 2]
It's on my mind most of the time
It's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
[Verse 3]
It's a monster
(We all have within us)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a monster
[Verse 4]
It's a monster
(Turns us into sinners)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
[Verse 5]
It started when I played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that, once you've been bit
Oh, you can't seem to get rid of it
[Verse 6]
It's on my mind most of the time
It's when I find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
[Verse 7]
It's a monster
(We all have within us)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a monster
[Verse 8]
It's a monster
(Turns us into sinners)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a, AH, AH, OW
[Verse 9]
It's a monster
(We all have within us)
Said, it's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a monster
[Verse 10]
It's a monster
(Turns us into sinners)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a, oh, OW
[Verse 11]
Ah, ah, AH, DON'T
[Verse 12]
Everybody was born in it
Sure as hell gonna die
Some people don't give a shit
[Verse 13]
It's a monster
(We all have within us)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a monster
[Verse 14]
It's a monster
(Turns us into sinners)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a, baby
[Verse 15]
It's a monster
(We all have within us)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a monster
[Verse 16]
It's a monster
(Turns us into sinners)
It's a monster
(It's a monster)
It's a, it's a, ah, ah, OW
