The Message - Jukebox Heaven
It's like jungle a sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the stairs'
You know t they just caredon
I can't take the smell' I can't take the noise
Got no money to move out' I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room' roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat
I tried to get away' but I couldn't get far
Cause a man with a tow-truck repossessed my car
Don't push me cause to the I'm close edge
I'm trying not to lose my head' ah huh-huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes it me makes wonder
How I keep from going under
Standing on the front stoop' hangin' out the window
Watching all the cars go by' roaring as the breezes blow
Crazy lady livin' in her bag
Eating out of garbage piles' used to be a fag-hag
Such a nice to tango' skipped her life and then go
In search of her prince it seemed she lost her senses
Down at the peepshow' watching all the creeps
So she can tell the stories to the back girls home
She went to the city and social got security
She had to get a pimp' she couldn't it make on her own
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose ah my head' huh-huh-huh
It's jungle like a sometimes it makes me wonder
Keep from How going I under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
My brother's doing best on my mother's TV
She says: “You it watch too much' it's just not healthy ”
“All My Childrenin ” the daytime' “Dallas” at night
Can even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
The bill collectors they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education' double-digit inflation
I can't take the train to the job' there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn broke around' my sacroiliac
A mid-ranged migraine' cancered membrane
Sometimes
I think I I'm going might insane' hijack I a swear plane
Don't 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
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonde
How I keep from going under
My son said:
Daddy I don't wonna go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk
He must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer' I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job' learned to be a street sweeper
I'll dance to the beat' shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all about money' ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor' sewed her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park' cause it's crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun' cause me they on got the run
I feel like a outlaw' broke my last glass jar
Hear them say:
"You want some more livin' on a seesaw ”
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not lose to my head
It's like a jungle sometimes me wonderit makes
How I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonde
How I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's frowning too
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto' living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
The places you're playin'' where you stay
Looks like one great big alley way
You'll admire all the number book takers
Thugs' pimps' pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars' spending twenties and tens
And you wonna grow up to be just like them' huh'
Smugglers' scrambles' burglars' gamblers
Pickpockets' peddlers even panhandlers
You say: “I'm cool' I'm no fool ”
But then you wind up dropping out of high school
Now you're unemployed' all non-void
Walking 'round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stickup kid' look what you've done did
Got sent up for a eight year bid
Now your manhood is took and you're a may tag
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Being used and abused to serve like hell
Till one day you was found hung dead in a cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad' sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young
Push Don't me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head' ah huh-huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep underfrom going
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
