|
This is the law of the jungle |
|
As old and as true as the sky |
|
And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper |
|
And the wolf that shall break it shall die |
|
The arms race long since out of control |
|
Too many children starving and cold |
|
Diplomats talk but never solve shit |
|
Countries dying bit by bit |
|
The TV beams the pictures all over the Earth |
|
But the cries of anger are still not heard |
|
Assassination, terrorism, war and crime |
|
Why it's all just a sign of the times |
|
Live Aid, Sports Aid, whatever you like |
|
It's only a Band-Aid over human strife |
|
It's time for your attitude to change |
|
Time to realize that we're all to blame |
|
This is the law of the jungle |
|
As old and as true as the sky |
|
And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper |
|
And the wolf that shall break it shall die |
|
Self destruction is a fashionable trait |
|
Born out of boredom in a Thatcherite state |
|
Where the money holds the power |
|
And the power holds the sway |
|
And the people on the outside exist by the day |
|
With no hope for the future, just hate for the past |
|
Let's live for the moment now the dye has been cast |
|
Just reasonless strangers who don't know themselves |
|
Tired of learning, deprived of wealth |
|
Desperate days in dangerous times |
|
Words without meaning, words without rhyme |
|
Thoughts without motive, a panic for pride |
|
Where there's no room for reason and nowhere to hide |
|
This is the law of the jungle |
|
As old and as true as the sky |
|
And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper |
|
And the wolf that shall break it shall die |
|
We're all the products of childhood, it's true |
|
We all learned our lessons outside of the schools |
|
We failed our exams but we couldn't have cared |
|
Who wants to live in a stereotyped world |
|
We follow our instincts, we make our mistakes |
|
We never gave in where the lesser man breaks |
|
We smile at the Devil and spit in his face |
|
We welcome the moment of death's dark embrace |
|
We listen to music, get high, get low |
|
Fight with our problems, go with the flow |
|
Positive thinking, no more negative fear |
|
It's time to start living, now D-day is near |
|
This is the law of the jungle |
|
As old and as true as the sky |
|
And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper |
|
And the wolf that shall break it shall die |
