Savage

[Intro]

Oh, ah-ah

Oh, ah-ah

[Verse 1]

Who gives you the right to come here and tell me

I have to leave this place, my home

To you it's a jungle, to me it's a kingdom

Where my people are free there to roam

Born with the stars we are happy and peaceful

Till now, we were left undisturbed

But you rupture the forests, our gardens

And fill them with filth from your cities unheard

[Chorus]

Savage, who is savage?

Leave your morals, stake your claim

Savage, you are savage

Modern man can take the blame

[Verse 2]

You poisoned my tribe with civilised progress

Baptising our blood with disease

You christened our bodies with sadness and suffering

Saying then that your god is well-pleased

What have we done to deserve such injustice?

Explain to us please, if you can

But you can't, no you can't, we can see it in your eyes

Of us both, who's the primitive man

[Chorus]

Savage, who is savage?

Leave your morals, stake your claim

Savage, you are savage

Modern man can take the blame

[Guitar Solo: K.K. Downing]

[Verse 2]

You poisoned my tribe with civilised progress

Baptising our blood with disease

You christened our bodies with sadness and suffering

Saying then that your god is well-pleased

What have we done to deserve such injustice?

Explain to us please, if you can

But you can't, no you can't, we can see it in your eyes

Of us both, who's the primitive man

[Outro]

Savage, savage

Savage, savage

Who's the savage?

Modern man

Who's the savage?

Modern man
