Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What can you expect from filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse
Their skin's a hellish red, they're only good when dead
They're vermin, as I said, and worse
[Chorus]
(They're savages, savages) Barely even human
(Savages, savages) Drive them from our shore
They're not like you and me, which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war (They're savages, savages)
Dirty, red-skinned devils
Now we sound the drums of war
[Verse 2]
This is what we feared, the pale-face is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed
Beneath that milky hide, there's emptiness inside (I wonder if they even bleed?)
[Chorus]
(They're savages, savages) Barely even human
(Savages, savages) Killers at the core
They're different from us, which means they can't be trusted
We must sound the drums of war (They're savages, savages)
First, we deal with this one
Then we sound the drums of war
[Outro]
(Savages, savages) Let's go kill a few, men
(Savages, savages) Now it's up to you, men
(Savages, savages) Barely even human
Now we sound the drums of war
Written by: Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz
