So you come a long way
But you'll never have me
Never have things for a normal life
It's time, too busy earnin'
You can't get enough

This busy earnin'
You can't get enough

You think that all your time is used
Too busy earnin'
You can't get enough

And I get always
But I bet it won't change, no
Damn, that's a boring life
It's quite, busy earnin'
You can't get enough

This busy earnin'
You can't get enough

You think that all your time is used
Too busy earnin'
You can't get enough

Just busy earnin'

You can't get enough

You think that all your time is used
Too busy earnin'
You can't get enough

You think that all your time is used
Too busy earnin'
You can't get enough

Just busy earnin'
You can't get enough, no
Just busy earnin'
You can't get enough

Jungle

A jungle is land covered with dense vegetation dominated by trees. Application of the term has varied greatly over recent centuries and it has little scientific meaning. Before the 1970s, various tropical forests were referred to as jungles but this terminology has fallen out of usage. Jungles in Western literature can represent a less civilized or unruly space outside the control of civilization, attributed to the jungle's association in colonial discourse with places colonised by Europeans. more »
