Lyrics

Primitive

[Verse 1]

From the primordial soup

Out of the din and the gloom we came

We are animals

By any other name

From the primordial soup

Out of the din and the gloom we came

We are animals

One unbroken chain

[Chorus]

I need to get you out of your cave, man

I need to let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

[Verse 2]

Out from under a rock

From a prehistoric sea we crawl

We are animals

Animal one and all

Out from under a rock

From the prehistoric sea we came

We are animals, animals

One unbroken chain

[Pre-Chorus]

I know what you're searching for

I pray you find it on your instinct

I, I don't need you hurting, boy

Animalistic

[Chorus]

I need to get you out of your cave, man

I need to let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

I need to get you out of your cave, man

I need to let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

[Verse 3]

If you call out tonight

And hear the call of the wild reply

You are animal, animal

Not so deep inside

If you call out in vain

Every one of us just the same

We are animal

Dare not speak its name

[Pre-Chorus]

I know what you're searching for

I pray you find it on your instinct

I, I don't need you hurting, boy

Animalistic

[Chorus]

I need to get you out of your cave, man

(Primitive)

I need to let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Primitive love for me)

I need to get you out of your cave, man

(Primitive)

I need to let you out of your cage and set you free

If tonight's the night

I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

(Primitive love for me)
