[00:00:00] The Message - The Message

[00:00:47] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:48] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[00:00:52] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:53] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[00:01:06] Broken glass everywhere

[00:01:08] People pissin' on the stairs

[00:01:09] You know they just don't care

[00:01:11] I can't take the smell can't take the noise

[00:01:13] Got no money to move out

[00:01:14] I guess I got no choice

[00:01:16] Rats in the front room roaches in the back

[00:01:18] Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat

[00:01:20] I tried to get away but I couldn't get far

[00:01:23] Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

[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

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

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

[00:01:39] Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window

[00:01:42] Watchin' all the cars go by roarin' as the breezes blow

[00:01:44] Crazy lady livin' in a bag

[00:01:46] Eatin' outta garbage pails used to be a fag hag

[00:01:49] Said she'll dance the tango skip the light fandango

[00:01:51] A zircon princess seemed to lost her senses

[00:01:54] Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps

[00:01:56] So she can tell her stories to the girls back home

[00:01:58] She went to the city and got social security

[00:02:01] She had to get a pimp

[00:02:02] She couldn't make it on her own

[00:02:03] Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

[00:02:08] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:02:13] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:02:14] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[00:02:24] Says she watches too much it's just not healthy

[00:02:26] All my children in the daytime dallas at night

[00:02:29] Can't even see the game or the sugar ray fight

[00:02:32] The bill collectors they ring my phone

[00:02:34] And scare my wife when I'm not home

[00:02:36] Got a bum education double digit inflation

[00:02:38] Can't take the train to the job

[00:02:40] There's a strike at the station

[00:02:41] Neon king kong standin' on my back

[00:02:43] Can't stop to turn around broke my sacroiliac

[00:02:46] A mid range migraine cancered membrane

[00:03:50] Cause the teacher's a jerk he must think I'm a fool

[00:03:52] And all the kids smoke reefer I think it'd be cheaper

[00:03:55] If I just got a job learned to be a street sweeper

[00:03:57] Or dance to the beat shuffle my feet

[00:04:09] Took her to the doctor sewed her arm on again

[00:04:11] Stabbed that man right in his heart

[00:04:14] Gave him a transplant for a brand new start

[00:04:16] I can't walk through the park cause it's crazy after dark

[00:04:18] Keep my hand on my gun cause

[00:04:20] They got me on the run

[00:04:21] I feel like a outlaw broke my last glass jaw

[00:04:23] Hear them say "you want some more "

[00:04:25] Livin' on a see saw

[00:04:54] A child is born with no state of mind

[00:04:56] Blind to the ways of mankind

[00:04:58] God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too

[00:05:01] Because only god knows what you'll go through

[00:05:04] You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second rate

[00:05:06] And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate

[00:05:08] The places you play and where you stay

[00:05:10] Looks like one great big alleyway

[00:05:13] You'll admire all the number book takers

[00:05:15] Thugs pimps and pushers and the big money makers

[00:05:44] Spend the next two years as a undercover fag

[00:05:46] Bein' used and abused to serve like hell

[00:05:49] Til one day you was found hung dead in the cell

[00:05:51] It was plain to see that your life was lost

[00:05:53] You was cold and your body swung back and forth

[00:05:56] But now your eyes sing the sad sad song

[00:05:58] Of how you lived so fast and died so young so

[00:06:01] Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
