Savages
Murder lives foreverAnd so does warIt’s survival of the fittestRich against the poorAt the end of the dayIt’s a human traitSewn deep down inside of our DNA
One man can build a bombAnother run a raceTo save somebody’s life and have it blow up in his faceI’m not the only one who finds it hard to understandI’m not afraid of GodI am afraid of man
Is it running in our bloodIs it running in our veinsIs it running in our genesIs it in our DNAHumans aren’t gonna behave as we think we always shouldYeah, we can be bad as we can be good
Underneath it all we’re just savagesHidden behind shirts, ties and marriagesHow could we expect anything at all?We’re just animals still learning how to crawl
We live, we dieWe steal, we kill, we lieJust like animalsBut with far less graceWe laugh, we cryLike babies in the nightForever running wildIn the human race
Another day, another tale of rapeAnother ticking bomb to bury deep and detonateI’m not the only one who finds it hard to understandI’m not afraid of GodI am afraid of man
You can see it on the newsYou can watch it on TVYou can read it on your phoneYou can say it’s troublingHumans aren’t gonna behave as we think we always shouldYeah, we can be bad as we can good
Underneath it all we’re just savagesHidden behind shirts, ties and marriagesHow could we expect anything at all?We’re just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all we’re just savagesHidden behind shirts, ties & marriagesTruth is in us all, cradle to the graveWe’re just animals still learning to behave
All the hate coming out from a generationWho got everything and nothing guided by temptationWere we born to abuse, shoot a gun and runOr has something deep inside of us come undone?Is it a human trait or is it learned behaviourAre you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour?
Underneath it all, we’re just savagesHidden behind shirts, ties and marriagesHow could we expect anything at all?We’re just animals still learning how to crawlUnderneath it all we’re just savagesHidden behind shirts, ties & marriagesTruth is in us all, cradle to the graveWe’re just animals still learning to behave
