Judas Priest - Savage Lyrics
Who gives you the right to come here and tell meI have to leave this place my homeTo you its a jungle, to me its a kingdomWhere (my) people are free there to roamBorn with the stars we are happy and peacefultil now we were left undisturbedBut you rupture the forests our gardensAnd fill them with filth from your cities unheardSavage, who is savageLeave your morals, stake your claimSavage, you are savageModern man can take the blameYou poisoned my tribe with civilized progressBaptizing our blood with diseaseYou christened our bodies with sadness and sufferingSaying then that your God is well-pleasedWhat have we done to deserve such injusticeExplain to us please if you canBut you cant, no you cant, we can see it in your eyesOf us both whos the primitive manSavage, who is savageLeave your morals, stake your claimSavage, you are savageModern man can take the blameYou poisoned my tribe with civilized progressBaptizing our blood with diseaseYou christened our bodies with sadness and sufferingSaying then that your God is well-pleasedWhat have we done to deserve such injusticeExplain to us please if you canBut you cant, no you cant, we can see it in your eyesOf us both whos the primitive manSavage, savageSavage, savageWhos the savageModern manWhos the savageModern manBeyond the realms of deathHe had enoughHe couldnt take anymoreHed found a placeIn his mind and slammed the doorNo matter how they triedThey couldnt understandThey washed and dressed himFed him by handYeah! Ive left the world behindIm safe here in my mindFree to speak with my own kindThis is my life, this is my lifeIll decide not youWithdrawn hed sit thereStare blank into spaceNo sign of lifeWould flicker on his faceUntil one day he smiledIt seemed as though with prideThe wind kissed himGoodbye - and then he diedYeah! Ive left the world behindIm safe here in my mindFree to speak with my own kindThis is my life, this is my lifeIll decide not youKeep the world with all its sinIts not fit for livin inYeah! I will start againIt can take forever, and ever, and everAnd ever, but Ill still win.How many like him,Are there stillBut to us, allSeem to have lost the willThey lie in thousandsPlagued and lostIs nothing worth this bitter costYeah! Ive left the world behindIm safe here in my mindFree to speak with my own kindThis is my life, this is my lifeIll decide not youKeep the world with all its sinIts not fit for livin inBeoynd the realms of death.
