It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
Broken glass everywhere
People busy on the schedule
No, they just don't care
Can't take the smell
I can't take the noise
Got no money to move out
I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, pillars in the back
Chunkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far 'cause
The man with the tow truck repossessed my car
Don't pull me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm cryin' not to lose my head
Ha-ha, ha, ha
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
Standin' on the front stool, hangin' out the window
Watchin' all the cops by, rollin' in the beast blow
Crazy lady livin' in the back
In, out, gotta pale just to be a fat hag
Says and does the tango, skip the life and dangle
Will sit down prints to single love of sexy
Down on the peep show watchin' all the creeps
So she can tell the story to the girls back home
She went to the ceiling, got so, so's a beauty
She had to get a picture, couldn't make it on her own
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm cryin' not to lose my head
Ha-ha, ha, ha
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
My buddy's doing fast on my mother's TV
Says she watch it too much, it's just not healthy
All my children in the daytime, dollars at night
Can even see the game of the Sugar Ray fight
A bill collectors and ring my phone
They scare my wife when I'm not home
They got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Could take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
New arm King Kong standin' on my back
He stops, turn around, boom, my cycle kill you
A midway migraine, concert membrane
Sometimes I think I'm gonna sinus, I might hijack a plane
Don't pull me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm cryin' not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
My son said, "Daddy, I don't want to go to school 'cause the teacher's
A jerk and I think I'm a fool." And now the kids go reefer, I think
It'd be cheaper if I just got a job, learn to be a street sweeper
I dance to the beat and shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps '
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have the car in this land of milk and honey
You push that girl in front of the train
Took it to the dark and so they arm on again
Stab that man right in his heart, gave
Him a transmit for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park 'cause it's crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun 'cause they got me on the run
I'm feelin' like an outlaw, broke my last, last jaw
Didn't say you want some more, didn't own a seashore
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm cryin' not to lose my head
Say what?
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
A child is born with no state of mind, blind to the ways of mankind
Get a smile on you but this brown end, too
Because only God knows what you go through
You go in together, leave a second raise and
Your arms were saying a song could be hate
The place which you play and where you
Stay looks like one great big alleyway
You'll admire all the number book takers
Top hits that put you in the big money maker
The John Wick who's been the 20s and 10s and
You want to grow up to be just like this, huh
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
Pickpockets, I guess we're eat the pain here
You say, "I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool." But
Then you wind up dropping out of high school
Now you unemployed, hold on, boy
Walking around like the pretty boy Floyd
Turn stick-up kid but look what you done did
He gets eight out for eight-year bid
Know your man who is looking you on make tape when the next two years
Every undercover band be amuse in the field, served like hell
So one day, you will find him dead in the cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
He was calling you buddy as long as back and forth
But now your eye friend says, says song
How you mean so fast, die so young
So don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm cryin' not to lose my head
Ha-ha, ha, ha
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how our people going under
Ha, ah, ha-ha, ha, ha
It's like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how our people going under
Ha, ah, ha-ha, ha, ha
...
What?
When it happened?
When did happen?
Freeze!
Everybody move up in the alley
You can't move
You can't move
Wait
Get ready
Do it again
Go inside
No, here from now
Jump
Do it properly
Get in the car
No, man
Get in the car
No, man
I said get in the car
No, you ain't a good catch, come with me
