[00:05:31] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:05:31] It makes me wonder how

[00:05:31] I keep from goin' under

[00:05:31] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:05:31] It makes me wonder how

[00:05:31] I keep from goin' under

[00:05:31] Broken glass everywhere

[00:05:31] People pissin' on the stairs,

[00:05:31] you know they just don't care

[00:05:31] I can't take the smell,

[00:05:31] can't take the noise

[00:05:31] Got no money to move out,

[00:05:31] I guess I got no choice

[00:05:31] Rats in the front room, roaches in the back

[00:05:31] Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat

[00:05:31] I tried to get away but I couldn't get far

[00:05:31] 'cuz a man with a tow

[00:05:31] truck repossessed my car

[00:05:31] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

[00:05:31] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:05:31] Standin' on the front

[00:05:31] stoop hangin' out the window

[00:05:31] Watchin' all the cars go by,

[00:05:31] roarin' as the breezes blow

[00:05:31] Crazy lady, livin' in a bag

[00:05:31] Eatin' outta garbage pails,

[00:05:31] used to be a fag had sex and

[00:05:31] danced the tango, skip the life and dango

[00:05:31] A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses

[00:05:31] Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps

[00:05:31] So she can tell her stories

[00:05:31] to the girls back home

[00:05:31] She went to the city and got so so sadity

[00:05:31] She had to get a pimp,

[00:05:31] she couldn't make it on her own

[00:05:31] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

[00:05:31] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:05:31] My brother's doin' bad,

[00:05:31] stole my mother's TV

[00:05:31] Says she watches too much,

[00:05:31] it's just not healthy

[00:05:31] "All My Children" in the daytime

[00:05:31] , "Dallas" at night

[00:05:31] Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight

[00:05:31] The bill collectors, they ring my phone

[00:05:31] and scare my wife when I'm not home

[00:05:31] Got a bum education, double-digit inflation

[00:05:31] Can't take the train to the job,

[00:05:31] there's a strike at the station

[00:05:31] Neon King Kong standin' on my back

[00:05:31] Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac

[00:05:31] A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane

[00:05:31] Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane

[00:05:31] I swear I might hijack a plane!

[00:05:31] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

[00:05:31] My son said, Daddy,

[00:05:31] I don't wanna go to school

[00:05:31] 'cuz the teacher's a jerk,

[00:05:31] he must think I'm a fool

[00:05:31] And all the kids smoke **,

[00:05:31] I think it'd be cheaper

[00:05:31] if I just got a job,

[00:05:31] learned to be a street sweeper

[00:05:31] Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet

[00:05:31] Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps

[00:05:31] 'cuz it's all about money,

[00:05:31] ain't a damn thing funny

[00:05:31] You got to have a con in

[00:05:31] this land of milk and honey

[00:05:31] They pushed that girl in front of the train

[00:05:31] Took her to the doctor,

[00:05:31] sewed her arm on again

[00:05:31] Stabbed that man right in his heart

[00:05:31] Gave him a transplant for a brand new start

[00:05:31] I can't walk through the park

[00:05:31] 'cuz it's crazy after dark

[00:05:31] Keep my hand on my gun

[00:05:31] 'cuz they got me on the run

[00:05:31] I feel like a outlaw,

[00:05:31] broke my last glass jaw

[00:05:31] Hear them say "You want some more?"

[00:05:31] Livin' on a see-saw

[00:05:31] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

[00:05:31] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:05:31] A child is born with no state of mind

[00:05:31] Blind to the ways of mankind

[00:05:31] God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too

[00:05:31] Because only God knows what you'll go through

[00:05:31] You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate

[00:05:31] And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate

[00:05:31] The places you play and where you stay

[00:05:31] Looks like one great big alleyway

[00:05:31] You'll admire all the number-book takers

[00:05:31] Thugs, pimps and pushers

[00:05:31] and the big money-makers

[00:05:31] Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens

[00:05:31] And you'll wanna grow up

[00:05:31] to be just like them, huh

[00:05:31] Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers

[00:05:31] Pickpockets, peddlers, even panhandlers

[00:05:31] You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool

[00:05:31] But then you wind up droppin' outta high school

[00:05:31] Now you're unemployed, all non void

[00:05:31] Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd

[00:05:31] Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did

[00:05:31] Got sent up for a eight-year bid

[00:05:31] Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag

[00:05:31] Spend the next two years as a undercover fag

[00:05:31] Bein' used and abused to serve like hell

[00:05:31] 'til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell

[00:05:31] It was plain to see that your life was lost

[00:05:31] You was cold and your body swung back and forth

[00:05:31] But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song

[00:05:31] Of how you lived so fast and died so young so...

[00:05:31] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

[00:05:31] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:05:31] Uh huh huh huh huh

[00:05:31] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:05:31] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[00:05:31] Huh, uh huh huh huh huh
