What you're gonna do
   When you turn on the news
   And a dictator smiles at you
  
   What you're gonna do
   When you try to escape
   But big brother is watching you
  
   What you're gonna do
   When your own flesh and blood
   Comes around and beats you up
  
   What you're gonna do
   When it's too much to swallow
   And they still stick it down your throat
  
   Primitive, I wanna be primitive
   Primitive, let me be primitive
  
   What you're gonna do
   When it's sin after sin
   and you know it's not gonna stop
  
   What you're gonna do
   When you feel all the shame
   and the guilt creeping up on you
  
   What vou're gonna do
   When it's time to take a stand
   and it's time for some real change
  
   All I wanna do
   Is to shed my skin
   And leave it all behind
  
   Primitive, I wanna be primitive
   Primitive, let me be primitive
