Verse 2
Dm

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.

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 the alley with a 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
Am
Dm

I'm trying not to lose my head

Ah ha ha ha ha

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I

keep from going under

Standing on the front scoop

Hanging out the window

Watching all the cars go by

Roaring as the breezes blow

A crazy lady living in a bag

Eating out of garbage pails

Used to be a fag hag

Such a dastard tangle

Skip the life and dangle

So a sick aunt princess

seemed to lost her senses

Down at the peep

show watching all the creeps

So she could tell her 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
Am
Dm

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 wonder how I

keep from going under

My brother's doing fast on my mother's

TV says you watch it too much

It's just not healthy all my

children in the daytime

Dallas at night can't even see the

game or the sugar a fight

The bill collectors the ring my phone and scare

my wife when I'm not home got a bump

Education double -digit inflation can't

take the train to the job.

There's a strike at the station

I'm

King

Kong standing on my back can't stop to turn around broke
Am
Dm

my sacroiliac a mid -range mi graine cancer

Sometimes I think I'm going insane,

I swear I might hijack a 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
Am

It's like a jungle sometimes,
Dm

it makes me wonder how I keep from going under

Background

My son said,

Daddy, I don't want to 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 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
Am
Dm

I can't walk through the park,

cause it's crazy after dark

Keep my hand on my gun,

cause they got me on the run
Am
Dm

I feel like an outlaw,

broke my last past jaw

Hear them say, you want some more,

living on a seesaw
Am
Dm

Don't push me,

cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

Say what?
Am
Dm

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
Am
Dm

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 up 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 alleyway
Am
Dm

You'll admire all the

number book takers

Thugs, pimps, and pushers,

and the big money makers

Driving big cars,

spending twenties and tens

And you want to grow up to

be just like them

Smugglers, scramblers,

burglars, gamblers

Pickpocket 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 around like your pretty boy

Floyd

Turned stick -up kid,

but look what you done did

Got sent up for a eight -year bid

Now your manhood is took

and you're a

Maytag

Spend the next two years

as an undercover fag
Am
Dm

Being used and abused to serve like hell

Till one day you was found

hung dead in a cell
Am
Dm

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, song

Of how you lived so fast
Dm

and died so young
Am
Dm

So don't push me,

cause I'm close to the edge
Dm

I'm tryin' not to lose my head

Ha ha ha ha ha

It's like a jungle sometimes
Dm

It makes me wonder

How I keep from goin' under

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Dm

It's like a jungle sometimes

Yo, shut up.

Ain't no beautiful problem.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
