The title line is taken from John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden'.
lyrics
A man has his moment, A dog has his day,
But time has a habit, Of fading away,
As sure as the sun, Will rise in the east,
Man is the only, Guilty beast,
A moment’s a lifetime, All things must pass,
But grapes become wine, And sand becomes glass,
The mouths of the few, On the many will feast,
Man is the only, Guilty beast,
Forests will dry out, Seas they may rise,
Truth is a feeling, Lies are just lies,
Of all that I know, There is one truth at least,
Man is the only, Guilty beast,
Some live on through their children, Some live on through their lies,
But everyone dies, everyone dies, everyone dies,
Nothing is ever, Quite as it seems,
One man’s reality, Another man’s dream,
Some live on sugar, Some get by without yeast,
Man is the only, Guilty beast,
