I have to leave this place my home
 To you it's a jungle, to me it's a kingdom
 Where 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 civilised progress
 Baptising 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 civilised progress
 Baptising 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
 Modern man
