[Chorus] 1987 is the year to beat
Modern men lack simplicity
I'm primitive, so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me
Lock me in the tower like Marie Antoinette
Don’t belong in this century
I'm primitive, so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me

[Verse 1] I'm a hunter and a gatherer
I'm not waiting for him
Oh I'm sharpened and I'm jagged
And I'm breaking the skin
Oh I bit down on the desert
And I tasted the wind
In the harsh light of the morning
Where I pay for my sins

[Chorus] 1987 is the year to beat
Modern men lack simplicity
I'm primitive, so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me
Lock me in the tower like Marie Antoinette
Don't belong in this century
I'm primitive, so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me

[Verse 2] Can you do me little favors?
Can you pay me no mind?
I am primal and archaic
In the dark of the night
And it bit down on a closed fist
When you opened your eyes
Give me bloodshot little miracles
Only I say when it's time

[Chorus] 1987 is the year to beat
Modern men lack simplicity
I'm primitive, so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me
Lock me in the tower like Marie Antoinette
Don't belong in this century
I'm primitive, so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me

[Outro] I'm primitive (so primitive), so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me
I'm primitive (so primitive), so primitive
And modern men aren't modern to me
I'm primitive (I'm primitive), so primitive (so primitive)
And modern men aren't modern to me
I'm primitive (I'm primitive), so primitive (so primitive)
And modern men aren't modern to me
