[00:44.25] It's like a jungle sometimes
[00:45.74] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[00:48.94] It's like a jungle sometimes
[00:50.01] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[01:03.43] Broken glass everywhere
[01:05.21] People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
[01:07.60] I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
[01:10.03] Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
[01:12.51] Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
[01:15.05] Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
[01:17.22] I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
[01:19.57] 'cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car
[01:22.24] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[01:26.85] I'm trying not to lose my head
[01:30.98] Uh huh ha ha ha
[01:32.02] It's like a jungle sometimes
[01:33.26] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[01:36.41] Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
[01:38.90] Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
[01:41.61] Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
[01:43.56] Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag had sex and
[01:46.53] danced the tango, skip the life and dango
[01:48.48] A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
[01:50.86] Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
[01:53.12] So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
[01:55.49] She went to the city and got so so sadity
[01:58.06] She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
[02:00.53] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[02:05.01] I'm trying not to lose my head
[02:09.04] Uh huh ha ha ha
[02:10.22] It's like a jungle sometimes
[02:11.55] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[02:14.91] It's like a jungle sometimes
[02:16.16] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[02:19.48] My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
[02:21.67] Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
[02:24.10] "All My Children" in the daytime, "Dallas" at night
[02:26.45] Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
[02:28.98] The bill collectors, they ring my phone
[02:31.38] and scare my wife when I'm not home
[02:33.67] Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
[02:36.20] Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
[02:38.70] Neon King Kong standin' on my back
[02:41.37] Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
[02:43.35] A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
[02:45.83] Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
[02:47.18] I swear I might hijack a plane!
[02:48.33] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[02:52.94] I'm trying not to lose my head
[02:58.09] It's like a jungle sometimes
[02:59.29] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[03:02.74] It's like a jungle sometimes
[03:03.86] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[03:45.58] My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
[03:47.74] 'cuz the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
[03:50.07] And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
[03:52.61] if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
[03:55.10] Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
[03:57.42] Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
[04:00.24] 'cuz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
[04:02.23] You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
[04:04.65] They pushed that girl in front of the train
[04:07.01] Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
[04:09.25] Stabbed that man right in his heart
[04:11.80] Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
[04:14.17] I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark
[04:16.48] Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run
[04:18.82] I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
[04:21.19] Hear them say "You want some more?"
[04:22.86] Livin' on a see-saw
[04:23.95] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[04:28.43] I'm trying not to lose my head
[04:32.54] Say what?
[04:33.82] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:34.94] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:38.38] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:39.62] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:43.18] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:44.36] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:47.76] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:48.98] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:52.51] A child is born with no state of mind
[04:54.67] Blind to the ways of mankind
[04:56.99] God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
[04:59.29] Because only God knows what you'll go through
[05:01.78] You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
[05:04.13] And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
[05:06.65] The places you play and where you stay
[05:08.90] Looks like one great big alleyway
[05:11.40] You'll admire all the number-book takers
[05:13.92] Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
[05:16.31] Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
[05:18.66] And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
[05:21.11] Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
[05:23.42] Pickpockets, peddlers, even panhandlers
[05:25.86] You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
[05:28.08] But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
[05:30.49] Now you're unemployed, all non void
[05:32.69] Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
[05:35.32] Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
[05:37.68] Got sent up for a eight-year bid
[05:40.28] Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
[05:42.46] Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
[05:44.89] Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
[05:47.31] 'til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
[05:49.93] It was plain to see that your life was lost
[05:52.41] You was cold and your body swung back and forth
[05:54.35] But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
[05:56.62] Of how you lived so fast and died so young so...
[05:59.15] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[06:04.15] I'm trying not to lose my head
[06:08.15] Uh huh huh huh huh
[06:09.39] It's like a jungle sometimes
[06:10.59] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[06:12.63] Huh, uh huh huh huh huh
[06:13.87] It's like a jungle sometimes
[06:15.22] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[06:17.29] Huh, uh huh huh huh huh
