Broken glass everywhere - People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care - 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 - Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat - I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far - Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car - Chorus: Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge - I'm trying not to loose my head - It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me 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 a bag - Eating out of garbage piles, used to be a fag-hag - Search and test a tango, skips the life and then go - To search a prince to see the last of senses - Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps - So she can tell the stories to the girls back home - She went to the city and got so so so ditty - She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own - Chorus: It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder - How I keep from goin' under - My brother's doing fast on my mother's T.V. - Says she watches to much, is just not healthy - All my children in the daytime, Dallas at night - Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight - Bill collectors they ring my phone - And scare my wife when I'm not home - Got a bum education, double-digit inflation - Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station - Me on King Kong standin' on my back - Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac - Midrange, migrained, cancered membrane - Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a plane! - Chorus: My son said daddy I don't wanna 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 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 push that girl in front of a train - Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again - Stabbed that man, right in his heart Gave him a transplant before a brand new start - I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after the dark - Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the run - I feel like an outlaw, broke my last fast jaw - Hear them say you want some more, livin' on a seasaw - Chorus: A child was born, wih no state of mind - Blind to the ways of mankind Gods smilling on you but he's frowning too - Cause only god knows what you go through - You grow in the ghetto, living second rate - And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate - The places you play and where you stay - Looks like one great big alley way - You'll admire all the numberbook takers - Dogpitchers, pushers and the big money akers - Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens - And you wanna grow up to be just like them - Smuygglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers - Pickpockets, peddlers and even pan-handlers You say I'm cool, I'm no fool - But then you wind up dropping out of highschool - Now you're unemployed, all null 'n' void - Walking around like you're pretty boy Floyd - Turned stickup kid, look what you done did - Got send up for a eight year bid - Now your man is took and you're a Maytag - Spend the next two years as an undercover fag Being used and abused, and served like hell - Till one day you was find 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(Less)
