The Savage

[Couplet 1]
Bitch of a life, bitch of a land
The day that I saw hell be damned
He was the outcast, he was my brother
Scorned by some, ignored by others
Thirty years hard labor made him a bitter man
Earned him thirty years of chains

[Refrain]
See the savage who has no age
Empty, rejected, too old to know
Suffering in silence day after day

[Couplet 2]
Months passed falling apart
Robbed of all pride, losing heart
Paying his pension for the right to die
Is the only reason they keep him alive
I tried very hard to explain
These bastards have already been paid
He rambles aimless through my mind
Like an animal mad and blind

[Refrain]
See the savage who has no age
Too old to know, locked in a cage
Shoulda' told you the story a long time ago
Long time ago

[Couplet 3]
Bitch of a life, bitch of a land
He'll return from hell again
The bitter taste that's in his mouth
Nobody is able to wipe out
I want to hold him very tight
When his spirit leaves without a fight
At fifty he had no time to smile
Cheek them all, laugh and die !

[Outro] (x6)
I swear the day that I'm his age
They'll never put me in a cage
