Uh, yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah

It's like a jungle sometimes, so it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes, just makes me wonder how I keep from going under

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing 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 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 I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh

It's like a jungle sometimes, just makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Under, under, under

Standing on the front stoop, hanging out the window
Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breeze blow
Drive a big car, spending twenties and tens
And you want to grow up to be just like them, huh?

Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Under, under

Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Huh-huh
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
Under, under
