Who gives you the right to come here and tell me 

I have to leave this place my home 

To you it's a jungle, to me it's a kingdom 

Where (my) people are free there to roam 

Born with the stars we are happy and peaceful 

'Til now we were left undisturbed 

But you rupture the forests our gardens 

And fill them with filth from your cities unheard 



Savage, who is savage 

Leave your morals, stake your claim 

Savage, you are savage 

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
