Murder lives forever
And so does war
It's survival of the [bad word] Rich against the poor
At the end of the day
It's a human trait
Sewn deep down inside of our DNA

One man can build a bomb [bad word] 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 [bad word] in our blood
Is [bad word] in our veins
Is [bad word] in our genes
Is it in our DNA
Humans aren't gonna behave
As we think we always should
Yeah, we can be as 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

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 [bad word] 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'm 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 as 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 [bad word] is in us all, cradle to the grave
We're just animals still learning how to behave

All the [bad word] out from a generation
Who got everything, and nothing guided by temptation
We were born to abuse, shoot a gun [bad word] Or has something deep inside of [bad word] undone
Is it a human trait, or is it learned behavior
Are you killing for yourself, or killing for your savior

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 & marriages  [bad word] is in us all, cradle to the grave 
We’re just animals still learning to behave
