ACCEPT
- Primitive Lyrics / with translationsWhat 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 vou'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
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
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 vou'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

When we think about the meaning behind each verse, the song 'Primitive' from Accept shows how people experience frustration and powerlessness when they face both societal and personal oppression. The song uses 'primitive' as its main metaphor to show how people want to return to their natural state because they need to remove present-day complexities. The lyrics of Primitive primarily express social issues while also showing feelings of anger and despair and deep personal thoughts. The song shows how oppression and control operate in society while people experience their most intense need to escape from their current situation and pursue their simpler life. The lyrics of the song show how people experience oppression and violence and face systemic problems which create intense content that requires age restrictions for younger viewers. The song repeatedly uses 'beats you up' and 'stick it down your throat' to show two types of violence which create disturbing content that should not be shown to children. The need to 'shed my skin' and 'leave it all behind' shows a desire to escape from harsh realities which creates content that younger listeners should not experience.
