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
Just 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 are gonna
behave as we think we always should Yeah,
we can be bad as we can be good
Up beneath it all,
we're just savages hidden behind shirts
Ties and marriages,
how can we expect anything at all?
Just animals still learning how to grow
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 under the knee
I'm not the only one who finds it hard
to understand I'm not afraid of God,
I am afraid of man
Go see it on the news,
go watch it on TV Go read it on your phone,
go say it's troubling
Humans are gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah,
we can be bad as we can be good
Up beneath it all,
we're just savages hidden behind shirts Ties and marriages,
how can we expect anything at all?
Just animals still learning how to grow
Up beneath it all,
we're just savages hidden behind shirts
Ties and marriages,
truth is in a song Cradled to the grave,
we're just that animal
Still learning to behave
Overhate coming out from a generation Who got everything and nothing,
got it by temptation
Were we born to abuse,
shoot a gun and run Or has something deep inside of us gone under?
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 can we expect anything at all?
Just animals still learning how to grow
Underneath it all,
we're just savages hidden behind shirts
Ties and marriages,
truth is in a song Cradled to the grave,
we're just that animal
Still learning to behave
