Lyrics

What I don't know

Can never hurt me

I live a life

That's working for me

What I respect

You just can't see

What you expect

I'll never be

Primitive, that's how I live

Primitive, I take what you give

'Cause I love and I live primitive

The things I do

You'd never try

What I get free

You have to buy

I'm proud of my life

But don't ask me why

'Cause if I told ya

I'd probably

Primitive, that's how I live

Primitive, I take what you give

'Cause I love and I live primitive

Primitive, that's how I live

Primitive, I take what you give

'Cause I love and I live primitive
