It's like a jungle sometimes it me wonder
How I keep from going
It's like a jungle it makes me wonder
How I from going under

glass everywhere
People pissing on the stairs, you know they dont care
I can't take the smell, I can't take the no more
Got no to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, cockroaches in the
Junkie's in the alley with a bat
I tried to get away, but I get far
a man with a tow-truck repossessed my car

Don't push me I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head, ah
[2nd and 5th: ah
say what?]
It's like a jungle sometimes it me wonder
How I from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me
How I from going under

Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the
Watching all the go by, roaring as the breezes blow
lady livin' in a bag
Eatin' out of garbage pails, she used to be a
Said she danced the tango, the light fandango
The Zircon seemed to lost her senses
at the peepshow, watching all the creeps
So she can tell the to the girls back home
She to the city and got So-So-So Ditty
She had to get a pimp, she make it on her own

Chorus]

My brother's doing bad took my TV
she watches too much, its just not healthy
All My in the daytime, Dallas at night
even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
The bill collectors that my phone
And scare my wife I'm not home
Got a bum education, inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the
Neon Kong standin' on my back
Can't to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
A migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I hijack a plane

[3rd

My son said: Daddy, I don't go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be
If I just got a job, learned to be a sweeper
Id to the beat, shuffle my feet
a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this of milk and honey"
They pushed that girl in of the train
Took her to the doctor, her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his
Gave him a for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park, it's crazy after dark
Keep my on my gun, cause they got me on the run
I feel like a outlaw, my last glass jaw
Hear them say: You want some more?" livin' on a

Chorus]

A child is born no state of mind
to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's too
Because only God what youll go through
Youll grow in the ghetto, living second
And your will sing a song of deep hate
The places you play and you stay
like one great big alley way
You'll admire all the number book
Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and
And you wanna grow up to be like them, huh,
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars,
Pickpockets, peddlers panhandlers
You I'm cool, I'm no fool!
But then you wind up dropping out of school
Now you're unemployed, all
Walking like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned kid, look what youve done did
Got up for a eight year bid
Now your manhood is and you're a Maytag
Spent the two years as a undercover fag
Being and abused and served like hell
'Til one day you was found hung dead in cell
It was plain to see that life was lost
You was cold and your body swung and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad
Of how you lived so fast and died so

So 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.
