It’s a classic.
Haha techno was the shit back then.
I remember dancing to it at my first disco
All hail the king
Wauw. That song means a great deal to me. I once played the rendition by The Box Tops for a patient because he started “singing” the lyrics when he had his last energy surge. I’ll never forget that. It was such a touching moment. His wife and son already had passed away and he had literally no one. He was so happy to go. I still play that song every once in a while.
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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?
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
Shake That Bagpipe
Dark clouds are packing,
witness the wrath of god
Rain is pouring on our heads like needles
The rain is cutting in our face
The bitter taste of our enemies
Rotting away in the bowels of humanity
I sink, I’m sinking down
But I won’t drown in this stream
We already died when we fell
Before we crashed onto the concrete
Sucking those nipples one time to many
Exhausted remains are faling apart
The flow is washing away our sins
To start all over again in a empty womb
I sink, I’m sinking down
But I won’t drown in this stream
When all wounds were healed
We just had to rip them open again
Pouring salt into these leaks
Scratching fingers flesh, cold, numb
The bleeding finally stopped
But the pain will never end
Starving naked before god’s eyes
Father laughs, our mother dies
