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 the alley with a baseball bat

I tried to get away, but I couldn’t get too 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

It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under
