Image Of The Beast Lyrics - Procol Harum

They're putting up monuments to money 

Painting them green like dollar bills 

They're rejoicing in the big banks 

About the beautiful designs 

Because they know their pockets will be filled 

They're on their knees before the TV 

Praying for their choice to win 'Best' 

Hear 'em cry, 'The sky's the limit' 

Hope's fire will never fade 

Like the glitter of their favourite idol's dress

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Kings and queens and sheiks and singers 

Ghosts and phony light-bringers 

And always in the image of the beast 

Crowded round the new dictator 

They're sure that he's the one to trust 

Adoring all his tricky movements 

Even though he's gonna lose 

With everybody caught up in the bust 

Photos 

Everybody hits on something 

Obsessions never will decrease 

Shekels, Rand and Pounds and zeros 

Creepy priests, iconic heroes 

And always in the image of the beast
