The Message - Intellectual

[Intro]

Uh, yeah

Uh-huh

Yeah

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, huh-huh

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Broken glass everywhere

People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care

I can't take the smell, 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 thе alley with a baseball bat

I tried to gеt away, but I couldn't get far

'Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

I'm tryin' not to lose my head

Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from going under (Under, under, under)

Standin' on the front stoop, hangin' out the window

Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow

Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens

And you wanna grow up to be just like them, huh

Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

I'm tryin' not to lose my head

Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, huh-huh

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, under, under

Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge

I'm tryin' not to lose my head

Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, huh-huh

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under, under, under
