The Jungle: Parts 1, 2, 5 and 9

It's a jungle out there, I know it
And getting stranger every day because everyone's a stranger
It's a jungle out there, I know it
And the streets are full of danger every step of the way
Every step of the way, yes, every step of the way

It looks nice if you stay inside your car
It looks nice, but don't wander very far

It's a jungle out there, I know it
It's a jungle out there, every step of the way
Yeah, every step of the way, yeah, every step of the way

"There's more to life than just living," I can hear you say
"There's more to life than just living."
Well then, maybe you'll get lucky
And after you die you'll achieve fame
And have your face or name on the front of a T-shirt
I'll pass that by

Is it possible, is it possible to see light
To see light at the end of a tunnel
Going downtown, going downtown, going downtown, going downtown

Parasites, sectasites, mighty mites of nothingness
There's an answer, there's an answer
But it can't be found hanging around other lost souls

It's very easy to be taken in, everyone's fallen to the con
It's so simple to be preyed upon

You have a problem with your plumbing
So you call the plumber in, et cetera
It happens every day, remember well what the politicians say
And they never do that, never do that
Never do, do that, never, never do that

More stress, and every day so many people in the streets
Walking a dead beat, they seem all the same
Homogenized and ready to explode
Never see a happy face on a real person
There's no place left, no space left
There's no space left, no place left
Here's my twenty-first century sigh

Even if you go to Fiji you can get the hibee-jibees
Far off in the Himalayas there the tourist trade will slay ya'
And it's all about money, and it's all about money, and the good life

It's a jungle out there, it's a jungle out there, grrrrr
It's a jungle out there

And there's been a killin' in my neighbourhood
The people think that's thrillin'
That there's been a killin' in my neighbourhood
But what does that say about our livin'
When there's a killin' in the neighbourhood

When people are packing pistols to keep from dying
From other people packing pistols that want something
That they're lacking, need something, egos crying
Throughout our neighbourhoods

It's a jungle out there, and it would be lying
To say we're living in a wonderful world
In a wonderful world, though it's a wonderful world

White superman try to see, take a look at the old Cordoba mosque
Or the great China Wall, think of astronomy
Then gaze at your little suburban house and your mall
Drink up, drink up your Jack Daniels for comfort
Or maybe Boch beer, you're brain-dead anyway

It's a jungle out there, believe me, I know it
And getting stranger every day because everyone's a stranger
And hey, no one believes in anything anyway

Is there any significance
To having something written upon the front of a baseball cap
And is it really "stylish" to even have one

It's a jungle out there, I know it
And getting stranger every day, and the streets are full of danger
It's a jungle out there, I know it, it's a jungle out there
Every step of the way, yeah, every step of the way
Yeah, every step of the way
