Marina And The Diamonds - Savages lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Murder lives foreva, & so does war

It's survival of the fittest, rich against the poor

At the end of the day it's a human trait

Sewn deep down inside of our DNA

(Pre-Chorus)

One man can build a bomb, anotha run a race

To save somebody's life & have it blow up in his face

I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand

I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man!

Is it runnin' in our blood? Is it runnin' in our veins?

Is it runnin' in our genes? Is it in our DNA?

Humans aren't goin' to behave as we think we always should

Yeah, we can be as bad as we can good

(Chorus)

Underneath it all, we're just savages

Hidden behind shirts, ties & marriages

How could we expect anythin' at all

We're just animals, still learnin' how to crawl

(Verse 2)

We live, we die, we steal, we kill, we lie

Just like animals but with far less grace

We laugh, we cry like babies in the night

Forever runnin' wild, in the human race

(Pre-Chorus)

Anotha day, anotha tale of rape

Anotha tickin' bomb to bury deep & detonate

I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand

I'm not afraid of God, I'm afraid of Man

You can see it on the news, u can watch it on TV

You can read it on ur phone, u can say it's troublin'

Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should

Yeah, we can be as bad as we can good

(Chorus x2)

(Bridge)

All the hate comin' out from a generation

Who got everythin' & nothin' guided by temptation

We were born to abuse, shoot a gun & run

Or has somethin' deep inside of us come undone

Is it a human trait, or is it learned behavior

Are u killin' for yoself, or killin' for ur savior

(Chorus x2)
