The Message - The Message[00:00:00]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:00:47]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:00:48]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:00:52]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:00:53]
Broken glass everywhere[00:01:06]
People pissin' on the stairs[00:01:08]
You know they just don't care[00:01:09]
I can't take the smell can't take the noise[00:01:11]
Got no money to move out [00:01:13]
I guess I got no choice[00:01:14]
Rats in the front room roaches in the back[00:01:16]
Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat[00:01:18]
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far[00:01:20]
Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car[00:01:23]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge[00:01:25]
I'm trying not to lose my head[00:01:30]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:01:35]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:01:36]
Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window[00:01:39]
Watchin' all the cars go by roarin' as the breezes blow[00:01:42]
Crazy lady livin' in a bag[00:01:44]
Eatin' outta garbage pails used to be a fag hag[00:01:46]
Said she'll dance the tango skip the light fandango[00:01:49]
A zircon princess seemed to lost her senses[00:01:51]
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps[00:01:54]
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home[00:01:56]
She went to the city and got social security[00:01:58]
She had to get a pimp[00:02:01]
She couldn't make it on her own[00:02:02]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge[00:02:03]
I'm trying not to lose my head[00:02:08]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:02:13]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:02:14]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:02:18]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:02:19]
My brother's doin' bad stole my mother's tv[00:02:22]
Says she watches too much it's just not healthy[00:02:24]
All my children in the daytime dallas at night[00:02:26]
Can't even see the game or the sugar ray fight[00:02:29]
The bill collectors they ring my phone[00:02:32]
And scare my wife when I'm not home[00:02:34]
Got a bum education double digit inflation[00:02:36]
Can't take the train to the job[00:02:38]
There's a strike at the station[00:02:40]
Neon king kong standin' on my back[00:02:41]
Can't stop to turn around broke my sacroiliac[00:02:43]
A mid range migraine cancered membrane[00:02:46]
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane[00:02:48]
I swear I might hijack a plane [00:02:49]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge[00:02:51]
I'm trying not to lose my head[00:02:55]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:03:00]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:03:02]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:03:05]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:03:06]
My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school[00:03:48]
Cause the teacher's a jerk he must think I'm a fool[00:03:50]
And all the kids smoke reefer I think it'd be cheaper[00:03:52]
If I just got a job learned to be a street sweeper[00:03:55]
Or dance to the beat shuffle my feet[00:03:57]
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps[00:03:59]
Cause it's all about money ain't a damn thing funny[00:04:02]
You got to have a con in[00:04:04]
This land of milk and honey[00:04:06]
They pushed that girl in front of the train[00:04:07]
Took her to the doctor sewed her arm on again[00:04:09]
Stabbed that man right in his heart[00:04:11]
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start[00:04:14]
I can't walk through the park cause it's crazy after dark[00:04:16]
Keep my hand on my gun cause[00:04:18]
They got me on the run[00:04:20]
I feel like a outlaw broke my last glass jaw[00:04:21]
Hear them say "you want some more "[00:04:23]
Livin' on a see saw[00:04:25]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge[00:04:26]
I'm trying not to lose my head[00:04:30]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:04:36]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:04:37]

A child is born with no state of mind[00:04:54]
Blind to the ways of mankind[00:04:56]
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too[00:04:58]
Because only god knows what you'll go through[00:05:01]
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second rate[00:05:04]
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate[00:05:06]
The places you play and where you stay[00:05:08]
Looks like one great big alleyway[00:05:10]
You'll admire all the number book takers[00:05:13]
Thugs pimps and pushers and the big money makers[00:05:15]
Drivin' big cars spendin' twenties and tens[00:05:18]
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them huh[00:05:20]
Smugglers scramblers burglars gamblers[00:05:23]
Pickpocket peddlers even panhandlers[00:05:25]
You say I'm cool huh I'm no fool[00:05:27]
But then you wind up droppin' outta high school[00:05:30]
Now you're unemployed all non void[00:05:32]
Walkin' round like you're pretty boy floyd[00:05:35]
Turned stick up kid but look what you done did[00:05:37]
Got sent up for a eight year bid[00:05:39]
Now your manhood is took and you're a maytag[00:05:42]
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag[00:05:44]
Bein' used and abused to serve like hell[00:05:46]
Til one day you was found hung dead in the cell[00:05:49]
It was plain to see that your life was lost[00:05:51]
You was cold and your body swung back and forth[00:05:53]
But now your eyes sing the sad sad song[00:05:56]
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so[00:05:58]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge[00:06:01]
I'm trying not to lose my head[00:06:05]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:06:10]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:06:12]
It's like a jungle sometimes[00:06:15]
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under[00:06:16]
