The Message - Grandmaster Flash[00:00:00]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:00:48]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:00:49]

Broken glass everywhere[00:01:02]

People pissin' on the stairs you know they just don't care[00:01:04]

I can't take the smell can't take the noise[00:01:07]

Got no money to move out I guess I got no choice[00:01:09]

Rats in the front room roaches in the back[00:01:11]

Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat[00:01:14]

I tried to get away but I couldn't get far[00:01:16]

'Cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car[00:01:18]

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge[00:01:21]

I'm trying not to lose my head[00:01:26]

Uh huh ha ha ha[00:01:30]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:01:31]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:01:32]

Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window[00:01:35]

Watchin' all the cars go by roarin' as the breezes blow[00:01:38]

Crazy lady livin' in a bag[00:01:40]

Eatin' outta garbage pails used to be a fag hag[00:01:43]

Said she'll dance the tango skip the light fandango[00:01:45]

A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses[00:01:47]

Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps[00:01:50]

So she can tell her stories to the girls back home[00:01:52]

She went to the city and got social security[00:01:54]

She had to get a pimp she couldn't make it on her own[00:01:57]

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge[00:01:59]

I'm trying not to lose my head[00:02:04]

Uh huh ha ha ha[00:02:08]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:02:09]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:02:10]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:02:14]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:02:15]

My brother's doin' bad stole my mother's TV[00:02:18]

Says she watches too much it's just not healthy[00:02:20]

"All My Children" in the daytime "Dallas" at night[00:02:22]

Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight[00:02:25]

The bill collectors they ring my phone[00:02:28]

And scare my wife when I'm not home[00:02:30]

Got a bum education double-digit inflation[00:02:32]

Can't take the train to the job there's a strike at the station[00:02:35]

Neon King Kong standin' on my back[00:02:37]

Can't stop to turn around broke my sacroiliac[00:02:39]

A mid-range migraine cancered membrane[00:02:42]

Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane[00:02:45]

I swear I might hijack a plane [00:02:46]

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge[00:02:47]

I'm trying not to lose my head[00:02:52]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:02:57]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:02:58]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:03:02]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:03:03]

My son said Daddy I don't wanna go to school[00:03:44]

'Cuz the teacher's a jerk he must think I'm a fool[00:03:46]

And all the kids smoke reefer I think it'd be cheaper[00:03:49]

If I just got a job learned to be a street sweeper[00:03:51]

Or dance to the beat shuffle my feet[00:03:53]

Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps[00:03:56]

'Cuz it's all about money ain't a damn thing funny[00:03:58]

You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey[00:04:01]

They pushed that girl in front of the train[00:04:03]

Took her to the doctor sewed her arm on again[00:04:05]

Stabbed that man right in his heart[00:04:08]

Gave him a transplant for a brand new start[00:04:10]

I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark[00:04:13]

Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run[00:04:15]

I feel like a outlaw broke my last glass jaw[00:04:17]

Hear them say "You want some more "[00:04:20]

Livin' on a see-saw[00:04:21]

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge[00:04:22]

I'm trying not to lose my head[00:04:27]

Say what [00:04:31]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:04:32]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:04:33]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:04:37]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:04:38]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:04:42]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:04:43]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:04:46]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:04:47]

A child is born with no state of mind[00:04:51]

Blind to the ways of mankind[00:04:53]

God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too[00:04:55]

Because only God knows what you'll go through[00:04:58]

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

And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate[00:05:03]

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

Looks like one great big alleyway[00:05:07]

You'll admire all the number-book takers[00:05:10]

Thugs pimps and pushers and the big money-makers[00:05:12]

Drivin' big cars spendin' twenties and tens[00:05:14]

And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them huh[00:05:17]

Smugglers scramblers burglars gamblers[00:05:19]

Pickpocket peddlers even panhandlers[00:05:22]

You say I'm cool huh I'm no fool[00:05:24]

But then you wind up droppin' outta high school[00:05:26]

Now you're unemployed all non-void[00:05:29]

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

Turned stick-up kid but look what you done did[00:05:33]

Got sent up for a eight-year bid[00:05:36]

Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag[00:05:38]

Spend the next two years as a undercover fag[00:05:41]

Bein' used and abused to serve like hell[00:05:43]

'Til one day you was found hung dead in the cell[00:05:45]

It was plain to see that your life was lost[00:05:48]

You was cold and your body swung back and forth[00:05:50]

But now your eyes sing the sad sad song[00:05:53]

Of how you lived so fast and died so young so [00:05:55]

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge[00:05:57]

I'm trying not to lose my head[00:06:02]

Uh huh huh huh huh[00:06:06]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:06:08]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:06:09]

Huh uh huh huh huh huh[00:06:11]

It's like a jungle sometimes[00:06:12]

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:06:13]

Huh uh huh huh huh huh[00:06:15]
