It's a jungle out there Disorder and confusion everywhere No one seems to care Well I do Hey, who's in charge here? It's a jungle out there Poison in the very air we breathe Do you know what's in the water that you drink? Well I do, and it's amazing People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time If you paid attention, you'd be worried too You better pay attention Or this world we love so much might just kill you I could be wrong now, but I don't think so 'Cause there's a jungle out there It's a jungle out there It's a jungle out there Violence and danger everywhere It's brother against brother Pouding on each other Like they would make a mess It's a jungle out there It's a jungle here too You got a tap right on your phone A microphone and camera check on everything you do Call it paranoia as the saying goes Even paranoids have their meek I'm not the one who's crazy, I'm not afraid of them They're afraid of you and me I could be wrong there, but I don't think so 'Cause it's a jungle out there It's a jungle out there It's a jungle out there Even the cops are scared today So if you see a uniform Do exactly what they say Or make a run for it I'm only kidding with ya 'Cause it's a jungle out there It's a jungle out there
