[00:00:00] The Message (Re-Recorded Remastered Version) - Grandmaster Flash

[00:00:24] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:00:25] It makes me wonder

[00:00:26] How I keep from going under

[00:00:33] Broken glass everywhere

[00:00:35] People pissing on the stairs

[00:00:36] You know they just don't care

[00:00:38] I can't take the smell

[00:00:39] I can't take the noise no more

[00:00:40] Got no money to move out

[00:00:41] I guess I got no choice

[00:00:42] Rats in the front room

[00:00:44] Cockroaches in the back

[00:00:45] Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat

[00:00:47] I tried to get away

[00:00:48] But I couldn't get far

[00:00:49] 'Cause a man with a tow-truck

[00:00:50] Repossessed my car

[00:00:52] Don't push me cause

[00:00:54] I'm close to the edge

[00:00:56] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:01:01] Ah huh-huh-huh

[00:01:02] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:01:03] It makes me wonder

[00:01:03] How I keep from going under

[00:01:06] Standing on the front stoop

[00:01:07] Hangin' out the window

[00:01:09] Watching all the cars go by

[00:01:10] Roaring as the breezes blow

[00:01:11] Crazy lady livin' in a bag

[00:01:13] Eatin' out of garbage pails

[00:01:14] She used to be a fag-hag

[00:01:16] Said she danced the tango

[00:01:17] Skipped the light fandango

[00:01:18] The Zircon Princess seemed

[00:01:19] To lost her senses

[00:01:20] Down at the peepshow

[00:01:21] Watching all the creeps

[00:01:23] So she can tell the stories

[00:01:24] To the girls back home

[00:01:25] She went to the city and

[00:01:26] Got So-So-So Ditty

[00:01:27] She had to get a pimp

[00:01:28] She couldn't make it on her own

[00:01:30] Don't push me cause

[00:01:32] I'm close to the edge

[00:01:35] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:01:39] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:01:41] It makes me wonder

[00:01:41] How I keep from going under

[00:01:44] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:01:45] It makes me wonder

[00:01:46] How I keep from going under

[00:01:49] My brother's doing bad

[00:01:49] Took my mother's TV

[00:01:51] Says she watches too much

[00:01:52] Its just not healthy

[00:01:53] All My Children in the daytime

[00:01:55] Dallas at night

[00:01:56] Can't even see the game or

[00:01:57] The Sugar Ray fight

[00:01:58] The bill collectors that ring my phone

[00:02:01] And scare my wife when

[00:02:02] I'm not home

[00:02:03] Got a bum education

[00:02:04] Double-digit inflation

[00:02:05] Can't take the train to the job

[00:02:06] There's a strike at the station

[00:02:08] Neon King Kong standin on my back

[00:02:10] Can't stop to turn around

[00:02:11] Broke my sacroiliac

[00:02:12] A mid-range migraine

[00:02:14] Cancered membrane

[00:02:15] Sometimes I think I'm going insane

[00:02:16] I swear I might hijack a plane

[00:02:17] Don't push me cause

[00:02:19] I'm close to the edge

[00:02:22] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:02:27] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:02:28] It makes me wonder

[00:02:29] How I keep from going under

[00:02:32] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:02:32] It makes me wonder

[00:02:33] How I keep from going under

[00:02:45] A child is born with

[00:02:46] No state of mind

[00:02:48] Blind to the ways of mankind

[00:02:50] God is smiling on you

[00:02:51] But he's frowning too

[00:02:52] Because only God knows

[00:02:54] What youll go through

[00:02:55] Youll grow in the ghetto

[00:02:56] Living second rate

[00:02:57] And your eyes will sing

[00:02:58] A song of deep hate

[00:03:00] The places you play

[00:03:01] And where you stay

[00:03:02] Looks like one great big alley way

[00:03:04] You'll admire all the number book takers

[00:03:07] Thugs pimps pushers

[00:03:08] And the big money makers

[00:03:09] Driving big cars

[00:03:10] Spending twenties and tens

[00:03:11] And you wanna grow up

[00:03:12] To be just like them huh

[00:03:14] Smugglers scramblers

[00:03:15] Burglars gamblers

[00:03:16] Pickpockets peddlers even panhandlers

[00:03:19] You say: I'm cool I'm no fool

[00:03:21] But then you wind up

[00:03:22] Dropping out of high school

[00:03:23] Now you're unemployed

[00:03:24] All non-void

[00:03:26] Walking round like

[00:03:27] You're Pretty Boy Floyd

[00:03:28] Turned stickup kid

[00:03:29] Look what youve done did

[00:03:30] Got sent up for a eight year bid

[00:03:33] Now your manhood is took

[00:03:34] And you're a Maytag

[00:03:35] Spent the next two years

[00:03:36] As a undercover fag

[00:03:37] Being used and abused

[00:03:39] And served like hell

[00:03:40] 'Til one day you was found

[00:03:41] Hung dead in your cell

[00:03:42] It was plain to see that

[00:03:43] Your life was lost

[00:03:45] You was cold and

[00:03:46] Your body swung back and forth

[00:03:47] But now your eyes sing the sad

[00:03:48] Sad song

[00:03:49] Of how you lived

[00:03:50] So fast and died so young

[00:03:51] So don't push me cause

[00:03:54] I'm close to the edge

[00:03:57] I'm trying not to lose my head

[00:04:02] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:04:03] It makes me wonder

[00:04:03] How I keep from going under

[00:04:06] It's like a jungle sometimes

[00:04:07] It makes me wonder how

[00:04:08] I keep from going under
