It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
2
It's like a jungle sometimes, 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
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
12
I'm trying not to lose my head, ha-ha
13
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
14
Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
15
Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
16
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
17
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
18
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
19
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
20
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
21
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
22
She went to the city and got so-so seditty
23
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
24
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
25
I'm trying not to lose my head, ha-ha
26
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
27
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
28
My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
29
Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
30
All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
31
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
32
The bill collectors, they ring my phone
33
And scare my wife when I'm not home
34
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
35
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
36
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
37
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
38
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
39
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
40
I swear I might hijack a plane
41
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
42
I'm trying not to lose my head
43
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
44
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
45
My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
46
'Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
47
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
48
If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
49
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
50
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
51
'Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
52
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
53
They pushed that girl in front of the train
54
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
55
Stabbed that man right in his heart
56
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
57
I can't walk through the park 'cause it's crazy after dark
58
Keep my hand on my gun 'cause they got me on the run
59
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
60
Hear them say "you want some more?"
61
Livin' on a see-saw
62
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
63
I'm trying not to lose my head, say what?
64
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
65
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
66
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
67
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
68
A child is born with no state of mind
69
Blind to the ways of mankind
70
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
71
Because only God knows what you'll go through
72
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
73
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
74
The places you play and where you stay
75
Looks like one great big alleyway
76
You'll admire all the number-book takers
77
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
78
Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
79
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them
80
Huh, smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
81
Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
82
You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
83
But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
84
Now you're unemployed, all non-void
85
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
86
Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
87
Got sent up for a eight-year bid
88
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
89
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
90
Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
91
Till one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
92
It was plain to see that your life was lost
93
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
94
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
95
Of how you lived so fast and died so young
96
So don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
97
I'm trying not to lose my head, ha-ha
98
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, ha-ha
99
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, ha-ha
