[00:01.920] The Message - Grandmaster Flash
[00:48.550] It's like a jungle sometimes
[00:49.860] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[01:02.830] Broken glass everywhere
[01:04.750] People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
[01:07.000] I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
[01:09.300] Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
[01:11.800] Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
[01:14.170] Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
[01:16.540] I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
[01:18.790] 'cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car
[01:21.600] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[01:26.170] I'm trying not to lose my head
[01:30.280] Uh huh ha ha ha
[01:31.710] It's like a jungle sometimes
[01:32.650] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[01:35.770] Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
[01:38.070] Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
[01:40.760] Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
[01:43.010] Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
[01:45.510] Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
[01:47.690] A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
[01:50.180] Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
[01:52.620] So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
[01:54.610] She went to the city and got social security
[01:57.110] She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
[01:59.920] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[02:04.550] I'm trying not to lose my head
[02:08.540] huh ha Uh ha ha
[02:09.550] It's like a jungle sometimes
[02:10.860] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[02:14.230] It's like a jungle sometimes
[02:15.420] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[02:18.660] My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
[02:20.780] Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
[02:22.970] "All My Children" in the daytime, "Dallas" at night
[02:25.900] Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
[02:28.330] The bill collectors, they ring my phone
[02:30.520] and scare my wife when I'm not home
[02:32.830] Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
[02:35.070] Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
[02:37.820] Neon King Kong standin' on my back
[02:39.990] Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
[02:42.680] A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
[02:45.110] Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
[02:46.190] I swear I might hijack a plane!
[02:47.630] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[02:52.500] I'm trying not to lose my head
[02:57.250] It's like a jungle sometimes

[03:02.000] It's like a jungle sometimes
[03:03.120] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[03:44.620] My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
[03:46.930] 'cuz the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
[03:49.300] And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
[03:51.610] if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
[03:53.790] Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
[03:56.410] Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
[03:58.720] 'cuz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
[04:01.150] You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
[04:03.590] They pushed that girl in front of the train
[04:05.770] Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
[04:08.510] Stabbed that man right in his heart
[04:10.640] Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
[04:13.140] I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark
[04:15.570] Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run
[04:17.620] I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
[04:20.180] Hear them say "You want some more?"
[04:21.680] Livin' on a see-saw
[04:22.920] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[04:27.790] I'm trying not to lose my head
[04:31.470] Say what?
[04:32.780] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:33.530] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[04:38.340] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:42.200] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:43.140] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:46.950] It's like a jungle sometimes
[04:47.820] It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
[04:51.380] A child is born with no state of mind
[04:53.690] Blind to the ways of mankind
[04:55.880] God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
[04:58.240] Because only God knows what you'll go through
[05:00.560] You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
[05:03.060] And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
[05:05.800] The places you play and where you stay
[05:07.550] Looks like one great big alleyway
[05:10.110] You'll admire all the number-book takers
[05:12.860] Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
[05:14.980] Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
[05:17.530] And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
[05:19.970] Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
[05:22.330] Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
[05:24.710] You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
[05:26.890] But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
[05:29.270] Now you're unemployed, all non-void
[05:31.760] Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
[05:33.950] Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
[05:36.320] Got sent up for a eight-year bid
[05:38.870] Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
[05:41.300] Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
[05:43.620] Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
[05:45.680] 'til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
[05:48.360] It was plain to see that your life was lost
[05:50.920] You was cold and your body swung back and forth
[05:53.050] But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
[05:55.150] Of how you lived so fast and died so young so...
[05:57.940] Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
[06:02.810] I'm trying not to lose my head
[06:06.750] Uh huh huh huh huh
