Concrete Jungle Lyrics

...CONCRETE JUNGLE... by The Specials
*from 'The Specials' (1979)*
Intro:
Verse 1:
I'm going out to-night,
I don't know if I'll be al-right.
Everyone, wants to hurt me,
There's too much danger in the ci-ty.
I have to carry a knife,
Because people keep threatening my life.
I can't dress just the way I want,
I'm being chased by The National Front.
Chorus 1:
Concrete jungle; the animals are after me.
Concrete jungle; it ain't safe on the streets.
Concrete jungle; glad I got my mates with me.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
I won't fight for a cause,
Don't want to change the law.
Leave me alone, just leave me a-lone,
I want to get out on my own.
I'm walking home to-night,
I only walk where there's lots of lights.
In the alleys and the door-ways,
Some throw a bottle straight at your face.
Chorus 2:
Concrete jungle; the animals are after me.
Concrete jungle; it ain't safe on the streets.
Concrete jungle; glad I got my mates with me.
Solo:
Verse 3:
I'm going out to-night,
I don't know if I'll be al-right.
Everyone, wants to hurt me,
There's too much danger in the ci-ty.
I have to carry a knife,
Because people keep threatening my life.
I can't dress just the way I want,
I'm being chased by The National Front.
Chorus 3:
Concrete jungle; the animals are after me.
Concrete jungle; it ain't safe on the streets.
Concrete jungle; glad I got my mates with me.
