Civilization Lyrics

Tiger kills, sittin' in the long grass
Well he don't give a damn if he win or lose
Just like me I don't want to live

Promises sweet promises, all in vain
Lovers learn to say, kill in love
You've got to kill in love

Civilization
Civilization
Standing by your window in the rain

It ain't what you got or the way you move
Cause somebody else gonna do it better than you
Be just like me, I don't wanna live

Promises sweet promises, all in vain
Lovers learn to say, kill in love
You've got to kill in love

Civilization
Civilization
Standing by your window in the rain

Oh baby
Standing by your window in the rain
Standing by your window in the rain
Standing by your window in the rain
Standing by your window in the rain

Promisеs sweet promises, all in vain
Lovers learn to say, kill in lovе
You've got to kill in love

Civilization
Civilization
Civilization
It ain't what you've got
You've got to try your heart and shoot your shot
You've got civilization
