| 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 you'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 |
