What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's like a jungle sometimes
2
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
3
Broken glass everywhere
4
People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
5
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
6
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
7
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
8
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
9
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
10
Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car
11
[Chorus]
12
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
13
I'm trying not to lose my head
14
It's like a jungle sometimes
15
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
16
Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
17
Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
18
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
19
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
20
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
21
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
22
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
23
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
24
She went to the city and got so so seditty
25
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
26
[Chorus]
27
It's like a jungle sometimes
28
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
29
My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
30
Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
31
All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
32
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
33
The bill collectors, they ring my phone
34
And scare my wife when I'm not home
35
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
36
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
37
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
38
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
39
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
40
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
41
I swear I might hijack a plane!
42
[Chorus]
43
It's like a jungle sometimes
44
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
45
A child is born with no state of mind
46
Blind to the ways of mankind
47
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
48
Because only God knows what you'll go through
49
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
50
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
51
The places you play and where you stay
52
Looks like one great big alleyway
53
You'll admire all the number-book takers
54
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
55
Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
56
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
57
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
58
Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
59
You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
60
But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
61
Now you're unemployed, all non-void
62
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
63
Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
64
Got sent up for a eight-year bid
65
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
66
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
67
Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
68
Til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
69
It was plain to see that your life was lost
70
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
71
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
72
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so
73
[Chorus]
74
It's like a jungle sometimes
75
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
