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 be bad
as we can be good
Underneath it all
we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts
ties and marriages
How can 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
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 be good
Underneath it all
we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts
ties and marriages
How can 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 can 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
