It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
My brother's doing bad stole my mother's TV
Says she watches too much it's just not healthy
All my children in the daytime Dallas at night
Can't even see the game or the sugar ray fight
The bill collectors they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education double digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standing on my back
Can't stop to turn around broke my sacroiliac
A mid range migraine cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm going insane
I swear I might hijack a plane
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's frowning too
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alleyway
You'll admire all the number book takers
Thugs pimps and pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars spending twenties and tens
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them huh
Smugglers scramblers burglars gamblers
Pickpocket peddlers even panhandlers
You say I'm cool huh I'm no fool
But then you wind up dropping outta high school
Now you're unemployed all null and void
Walking 'round like you're pretty boy floyd
Turned stick up kid but look what you done did
Got sent up for a eight year bid
Now your manhood is took and you're a maytag
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Being used and abused to serve like hell
'Til one day you was found hung dead in the cell
But now your eyes sing the sad sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
