Savages Lyrics - Froot - Marina And The Diamonds

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 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 

Photos 

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 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 behaviour 

Are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour? 

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
