| 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
|
| 'Til now we were left undisturbed
|
| But you rupture the forests our gardens
|
| And fill them with filth from your cities unheard
|
| Savage, who is savage
|
| Leave your morals, stake your claim
|
| Savage, you are savage
|
| Modern man can take the blame
|
| You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress
|
| Baptizing 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
|
| Savage, who is savage
|
| Leave your morals, stake your claim
|
| Savage, you are savage
|
| Modern man can take the blame
|
| You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress
|
| Baptizing 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
|
| Savage, savage
|
| Savage, savage
|
| Who’s the savage
|
| Modern man
|
| Who’s the savage
