Murder lives forever and so does war It's survival of the fittest, rich against the poor At the end of the day it's a human trait Hidden deep down inside of our DNA
One man can build a bomb, another run a race To save somebody's life and 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 running in our blood? Is it running in our veins? Is it running in our genes? Is it in our DNA? Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good
Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl
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 running wild in the human race
Another day, another tale of rape Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man
You can see it on the news, you can watch it on TV You can read it on your phone, you can say it's troubling Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good
Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We're just animals still learning to behave
All the hate coming out from a generation Who got everything and nothing guided by temptation Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run Or has something deep inside of us come undone? Is it a human trait or is it learned behavior Are you killing for yourself or killing for your savior?
Underneath it all, we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We're just animals still learning to behave
