Official Audio | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Savages Subscribe to the MARINA YouTube Channel - “FROOT is a symbol for something really positive: you plant a seed, a tree grows, it bears fruit, that is the cycle of our lives. I feel like I’ve got to that point where I feel fully realized as a musician. I’ve never felt like that before.” - MARINA My new album Love Fear is out April 26. Pre-order now: FROOT is out now: LYRICS [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] One man can build a bomb, another, run a race To 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Is it running in our blood, is it running in our veins? Is it running in our genes, is it in our DNA? Humans aren’t gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good [Chorus] Underneath it all, we’re just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We’re just animals still learning how to crawl [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Another day, another tale of rape Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate I’m not the only one who finds it hard to understand I’m not afraid of God, I am afraid of man [Pre-Chorus 2] You can see it on the news You can watch it on TV You can read it on your phone You can say it’s troubling Humans aren’t gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good [Chorus] Underneath it all, we’re just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We’re just animals still learning how to crawl Underneath it all, we’re just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We’re just animals still learning to behave [Bridge] All the hate coming out from a generation Who got everything and nothing, guided by temptation Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run Or has something deep inside of us come undone? Is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour? Are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour? [Chorus] Underneath it all, we’re just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We’re just animals still learning how to crawl Underneath it all, we’re just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties, and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We’re just animals still learning to behave Written by Marina Diamandis Produced by David Kosten & Marina Diamandis FOLLOW MARINA Website: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Spotify: Apple Music: SoundCloud: #MARINA #Savages #FROOT
