**** (Jungle Law)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees Some signifying hack was scratching backs for fleas Putting on the badmouth on poor little me Spreading ugly untruths like some horrible disease, ugh! [Verse 2] He said that I said what I never did said That I said that it's red, that it's over your head Ask me a question, then print a lie I canceled all appointments having vowed that he will die [Verse 3] So I went to find the source of this malicious dirt Having reread the words and washed the blood from my shirt When I found him he was sitting high up in a tree With one dirty finger on a typewriter key, oh! [Chorus] Sky is gray, and the grass unseen And you're the dumbest **** this city's ever seen He was laughing, shaking, high up in a tree But then he lost his balance, and he fell down on his knees [Verse 4] So I leapt on that mother, my anger to appease When I grabbed him by the throat, he said, "Oh, spare me, please" Sure as Gullible is my name, I let him go back to the trees And straight away the poison's flowing clearly from the keys [Chorus] The sky is grey, the grass unseen And he's still the dumbest **** this concrete jungle's ever seen That mother, he was laughing, bathing in the heat But then he slipped again and landed in the street [Verse 5] Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees Nobody's seen that mother high on the fleas But there's a new one in the obituary And it's just four stars where the name oughta be
