Lyrics

Primitive

What you're gonna do

When you turn on the news

And a dictator smiles at you

What you're gonna do

When you try to escape

But big brother is watching you

What you're gonna do

When your own flesh and blood

Comes around and beats you up

What you're gonna do

When it's too much to swallow

And they still stick it down your throat

Primitive, I wanna be primitive

Primitive, let me be primitive

What you're gonna do

When it's sin after sin

And you know it's not gonna stop

What you're gonna do

When you feel all the shame

And the guilt creeping up on you

What vou're gonna do

When it's time to take a stand

And it's time for some real change

All I wanna do

Is to shed my skin

And leave it all behind

Primitive, I wanna be primitive

Primitive, let me be primitive
