Bm
Who gives you the right to come here and tell me
                                  A
I have to leave this place my home
   Bm
To you it's a jungle, to me it's a kingdom
                                        A
Where (my) people are free there to roam
F#
Born with the stars we are happy and peaceful
                                  E
Until now we were left undisturbed
         Bm
But you rupture the forests our gardens
                                                A
And fill them with filth from your cities unheard

Chorus:
 B              A
Savage, who is savage
Leave your morals, stake your claim
Savage, you are savage
        G                 F#
Modern man can take the blame

You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress
Baptizing 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

Chorus

You poisoned my tribe with civilized progress
Baptizing 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
