[00:00:10] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:11] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:00:15] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:16] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:00:20] Broken glass everywhere

[00:00:22] People pissing on the stairs you know they just don't care

[00:00:25] I can't take the smell can't take the noise

[00:00:27] Got no money to move out I guess I got no choice

[00:00:30] Rats in the front room roaches in the back

[00:00:32] Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat

[00:00:35] I tried to get away but I couldn't get far

[00:00:37] 'Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

[00:00:40] Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

[00:00:45] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:00:49] Uh huh ha ha ha

[00:00:50] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:51] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:00:55] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:56] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:01:00] Standing on the front stoop hanging out the window

[00:01:02] Watching all the cars go by roaring as the breezes blow

[00:01:05] Crazy lady living in a bag

[00:01:07] Eating outta garbage pails used to be a fag hag

[00:01:10] Said she'll dance the tango skip the light fandango

[00:01:12] A zircon princess seemed to lost her senses

[00:01:15] Down at the peep show watching all the creeps

[00:01:17] So she can tell her stories to the girls back home

[00:01:20] She went to the city and got social security

[00:01:22] She had to get a pimp she couldn't make it on her own

[00:01:25] Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

[00:01:30] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:01:34] Uh huh ha ha ha

[00:01:35] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:01:36] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:01:40] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:01:41] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:01:45] My brother's doing bad stole my mother's TV

[00:01:47] Says she watches too much it's just not healthy

[00:01:50] All my children in the daytime Dallas at night

[00:01:52] Can't even see the game or the sugar ray fight

[00:01:55] The bill collectors they ring my phone

[00:01:57] And scare my wife when I'm not home

[00:02:00] Got a bum education double digit inflation

[00:02:02] Can't take the train to the job there's a strike at the station

[00:02:05] Neon King Kong standing on my back

[00:02:07] Can't stop to turn around broke my sacroiliac

[00:02:10] A mid range migraine cancered membrane

[00:02:12] Sometimes I think I'm going insane

[00:02:14] I swear I might hijack a plane

[00:02:15] Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

[00:02:20] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:02:25] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:02:26] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:02:30] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:02:31] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:02:35] My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school

[00:02:37] 'Cause the teacher's a jerk he must think I'm a fool

[00:02:39] And all the kids smoke reefer I think it'd be cheaper

[00:02:42] If I just got a job learned to be a street sweeper

[00:02:45] Or dance to the beat shuffle my feet

[00:02:47] Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps

[00:02:50] Cause it's all about money ain't a damn thing funny

[00:02:52] You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey

[00:02:55] They pushed that girl in front of the train

[00:02:57] Took her to the doctor sewed her arm on again

[00:03:00] Stabbed that man right in his heart

[00:03:02] Gave him a transplant for a brand new start

[00:03:04] I can't walk through the park 'cause it's crazy after dark

[00:03:07] Keep my hand on my gun 'cause they got me on the run

[00:03:10] I feel like a outlaw broke my last glass jaw

[00:03:12] Hear them say you want some more

[00:03:14] Living on a see saw

[00:03:15] Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

[00:03:20] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:03:24] Say what

[00:03:25] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:03:26] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[00:03:30] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:03:31] It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
