Flame in your eyeCould burn the world, if it were to escapeAnd the love in your heartIs the kind of love they write epic verse aboutAnd darling you know that you're better than thisDarling you know, you know you are better than thisBut we are ash, we are booksCoffee stained and overlookedWe are ornamental swordsForged for the peace after the warAnd the world has no needOf the songs that we sangWe are savages, you and IAnd we will hang, hang, hangThe tear on your cheekWill fall ignored by the suckers to fake romanceAnd the hope in your heartIt will be dashed on the shore of this deadly island darlingYou know that there's no place for us We'll build and we'll sweatBut there's no place for usNo Ithaca, no home, we are Greeks in the age of RomeWith no right to criticiseSongtexteThe happily dull Grecian eyesAnd the world has no needOf the songs that we sangWe are savages, you and IAnd we will hang, hang, hangSweat on your browIt shall be disdained and deodorisedAnd the will of your heartShall spoil in the heat of the new worldAnd darling you know, you know we're better unheardAnd darling you know, you know we're better unservedThe bright new futures we have seenFilled with beautiful machinesGreener pastures, clearer skiesAnd no one such as you or IAs the dust just settles sweetlyOn the songs that we sangWe are savages you and IAnd we will hang, hang, hang Aus Songtexte Mania
