“Savages” (Part 1 & 2) by David Ogden Stiers, Jim Cummings, Judy Kuhn, and Chorus from Pocahontas

[Ratcliffe]
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Here’s what you get when the races are diverse
Their skin’s a hellish red
They’re only good when dead
They’re vermin, as I said
And worse

[English Settlers]
They’re savages! Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
Barely even human

[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
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!

[English Settlers]
They’re savages! Savages!
Dirty shrieking devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!

[Powhatan]
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed

[Kekata]
Beneath that milky hide
There’s emptiness inside

[Native Americans]
I wonder if they even bleed
They’re savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!

[Powhatan]
Killers at the core

[Kekata]
They’re different from us
Which means they can’t be trusted

[Powhatan]
We must sound the drums of war

[Native Americans]
They’re savages! Savages!
First we deal with this one

[All]
Then we sound the drums of war
[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!

[Ben]
Let’s go kill a few, men!

[Native Americans]
Savages! Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
Now it’s up to you, men!

[All]
Savages! Savages!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!

[Ratcliffe]
This will be the day …
(Let’s go men!)

[Powhatan]
This will be the morning …
(Bring out the prisoner)

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will see them dying in the dust

[Pocahontas]
I don’t know what I can do
Still, I know I’ve got to try

[English Settlers]
Now we make ’em pay

[Pocahontas]
Eagle, help my feet to fly

[Native Americans]
Now without a warning …

[Pocahontas]
Mountain, help my heart be great

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
Now we leave ’em blood and bone and rust

[Pocahontas]
Spirits of the earth and sky …

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
It’s them or us

[Pocahontas]
Please don’t let it be to late …

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
They’re just a bunch of
Filthy, stinking

[English Settlers]
Savages!

[Native Americans]
Savages!

[English Settlers]
Demons!

[Native Americans]
Devils!

[Ratcliffe]
Kill them!

[Native Americans]
Savages!

[English Settlers]
Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
What are we waiting for?

[All]
Destroy their evil race
Until there’s not a trace left

[Pocahontas]
How loud are the drums of war

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
Now, we sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)

[Ratcliffe]
Now we see what comes
Of trying to be chums

[Native Americans]
Now we sound the drums … of … war!
[English Settlers]
Of course it means the drums … of … war!

[Pocahontas]
Is the death of all I love
Carried in the drumming of war?
