We are not the savage beasts
Who live in tiny huts
We have gigantic houses
Stocked up with useless stuff
We are not the savage beasts
Who hunt and gather to eat
We have fancy pre made foods
Laced with Aspartame and MSG
We are not the cavemen
That chased large game off cliffs
We use machines that go nowhere
In order to stay fit
We are not the savage beasts
We don’t rely on community
We lock ourselves in daily
To enjoy central air and reality tv
We are not the savage beasts
Baring it all and swinging free
We cover with our color code
And shame those who need to pee
We are not the primitive tribes
Shaping and polishing rocks for knives
Our weapons come in all shapes and size
With hundreds of ways to kill
We are not the savage beasts
With paint on our face, no shoes on our feet
We’ve only the best in war technology
If we don’t protect ourselves, who will?
Resources may be limited, but we really don’t care
It’s ours for the taking, not ours for the share!
Earned our time off, now we must use it well
We don’t sleep in tents, just a big dumb hotel!
Eyes closed to your plight, as we stand tall
We don’t want your problems, so we’ll build a wall!
You’ve done us wrong, best be careful my son
Instead of understanding, we will carry more guns!
Eradicate a nation in the name of peace
When accomplished, we’ll throw a lavish feast!
See, we are nothing like those savage beasts!
But in a way, somehow, we still tend to be.
