[00:43.399]It's like a jungle sometimes
[00:44.511]It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
[00:48.110]It's like a jungle sometimes
[00:49.294]It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
[01:02.646]Broken glass everywhere
[01:04.446]People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care
[01:06.814]I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
[01:09.118]Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
[01:11.654]Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
[01:13.918]Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
[01:16.382]I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
[01:18.846]Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car
[01:21.142]Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
[01:25.974]I'm trying not to lose my head
[01:31.062]It's like a jungle sometimes
[01:32.077]It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
[01:35.677]Standing on the front stoop, hanging out the window
[01:37.925]Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow
[01:40.333]Crazy lady, living in a bag
[01:42.653]Eating out of garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
[01:45.173]Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
[01:47.469]A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
[01:50.045]Down at the peep show watching all the creeps
[01:52.157]So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
[01:54.605]She went to the city and got social security
[01:56.917]She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
[01:59.245]Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
[02:04.117]I'm trying not to lose my head
[02:09.373]It's like a jungle sometimes

[02:18.777]My brother's doing bad, stole my mother's TV
[02:20.656]Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
[02:23.240]All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
[02:25.520]Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
[02:28.144]The bill collectors, they ring my phone
[02:30.520]And scare my wife when I'm not home
[02:32.856]Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
[02:35.096]Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
[02:37.784]Neon King Kong standing on my back
[02:39.944]Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
[02:42.424]A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
[02:44.944]Sometimes I think I'm going insane
[02:46.052]I swear I might hijack a plane!
[02:47.492]Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
[02:52.036]I'm trying not to lose my head

[03:03.042]It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
[03:44.821]My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
[03:46.957]Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
[03:49.381]And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
[03:51.805]If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
[03:54.197]Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
[03:56.613]Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
[03:58.917]Cause it's all about money; ain't a damn thing funny
[04:01.349]You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
[04:03.766]They pushed that girl in front of the train
[04:06.245]Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
[04:08.581]Stabbed that man right in his heart
[04:10.973]Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
[04:13.285]I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after dark
[04:15.757]Keep my hand on my gun, cause they got me on the run
[04:18.037]I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
[04:20.573]Hear them say "You want some more?", living on a see-saw
[04:22.885]Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
[04:27.670]I'm trying not to lose my head
[04:32.910]It's like a jungle sometimes

[04:48.444]It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
[04:51.765]A child is born with no state of mind
[04:53.916]Blind to the ways of mankind
[04:56.277]God is smiling on you, but he's frowning too
[04:58.661]Because only God knows what you'll go through
[05:00.964]You'll grow in the ghetto living second-rate
[05:03.229]And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
[05:05.821]The places you play and where you stay
[05:08.125]Looks like one great big alleyway
[05:10.557]You'll admire all the number-book takers
[05:13.060]Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
[05:15.548]Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
[05:17.668]And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
[05:20.204]Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
[05:22.612]Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
[05:25.109]You say "I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool."
[05:27.229]But then you wind up dropping outta high school
[05:29.693]Now you're unemployed, all null and void
[05:32.076]Walking 'round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
[05:34.500]Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
[05:36.844]Got sent up for a eight-year bid
[05:39.293]Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
[05:41.596]Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
[05:43.973]Being used and abused to serve like hell
[05:46.342]'Til one day you was found hung dead in the cell
[05:48.733]It was plain to see that your life was lost
[05:51.133]You was cold and your body swung back and forth
[05:53.492]But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
[05:56.286]Of how you lived so fast and died so young, so...
[05:58.606]Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
[06:03.358]I'm trying not to lose my head
[06:08.166]It's like a jungle sometimes
[06:09.542]It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
[06:13.326]It's like a jungle sometimes
