Am G
Murder lives forever
Dm
And so does war
F
It’s survival of the fittest
Am
rich against the poor
G
at the end of the day
Dm
It’s a human trait
F
sewn deep down inside of our DNA
Am
One man can build a bomb
G
another run a race
Dm
to save somebody’s life
F
and have it blow up in his face
Am G
I’m not the only one who finds it hard to understand
Dm
I’m not afraid of god
F
I Am afraid of man
Pre-Chorus:
Am F
is it running in our blood
Dm G
is it running in our veins
Am F
is it running in our genes
Dm G
is it in our DNA
Am F
Humans aren’t gonna behave
Dm G
as we think we always should
Am F
yeah, we can bad
Dm G
as we can good
Chorus:
Am F G
Underneath it all we’re just savages
F Dm G
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Am F G
How could we expect anything at all?
F Dm
we’re just animals still learning how to crawl
Verse II:
Am
we live, we die
G
we steal, we kill, we lie
Dm
just like animals
F Am
but with far less grace
we laugh, we cry
G
like babies in the night
Dm
forever running wild
F Am
in the human race
another day,
G
another tale of rape
Dm F
another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate
Am G
I’m not the only one who finds it hard to understand
Dm
I’m not afraid of god
F
I’m afraid of man
Pre-Chorus:
Am F
you can see it on the news
Dm G
you can watch it on tv
Am F
you can read it on your phone
Dm G
you can say it’s troubling
humana aren’t gonna behave as we think we always should
yeah, we can be bad as we can good
Am F
Humans aren’t gonna behave
Dm G
as we think we always should
Am F
yeah, we can bad
Dm G
as we can good
Chorus:
Am F G
Underneath it all we’re just savages
F Dm G
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Am F G
How could we expect anything at all?
F Dm
we’re just animals still learning how to crawl
Am F G
Underneath it all we’re just savages
F Dm G
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Am F G
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
F Dm
we’re just animals still learning to behave
Bridge:
Dm Am
All the hate coming out from a generation
G F
who got everything and nothing guided by temptation
Dm Am
were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run
G F
or has something deep inside of us come undonE?
Dm Am
is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour
G F
are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour?
Chorus:
Am F G
Underneath it all we’re just savages
F Dm G
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Am F G
How could we expect anything at all?
F Dm
we’re just animals still learning how to crawl
Am F G
Underneath it all we’re just savages
F Dm G
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Am F G
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
F Dm
we’re just animals still learning to behave
