[Verse 1]
Spare me a minute, I won't ask for much
Put your heart in it, but you don't give as such
Meaningless things
The needle's not broken, but the damage is done
Please show some emotion
Baby, that could be fun
You only care about things
Not how my broken heart sings
[Chorus 1]
Please don't say
"This is just the way it is," such a shame
It's become this game of things, I'm afraid
There's savage in our blood
[Verse 2]
You're always talking 'bout the way it could be
But it's not that easy being both chained and free
The populist wings
[Chorus 2]
Please don't say
"This is just the way it is," such a shame
It's become this game of things, I'm afraid
There's savage in our blood
When I feel so goddamn helpless, I know
That I'm tempted to shut down and let go
There's savage in our blood
[Bridge]
Burned ideas, they're floating again
Throwing stones at them
Blindfolded, you blame them
For the ugly truth
That haunted you, sleeping
[Chorus 2]
Please don't say
"This is just the way it is," such a shame
It's become this game of things, I'm afraid
There's savage in our blood
When I feel so goddamn helpless, I know
That I'm tempted to shut down and let go
There's savage in our blood
