Woke up this morning with a gun held to my head Woke up this morning damn near fell out of bed Times are changing faster now is what I think he said Woke up this morning with a gun held to my head We’re living in a concrete jungle Gorillas walking `round in there three piece suits Lions in uniform monkey on your back Woke up this morning to a blood red evening sky Woke up this morning wiped a tear drop from your eye Daddy why do we have to die I don’t know Woke up this morning to a blood red evening sky We’re living in a concrete jungle Gorillas walking `round in there three piece suits Lions in uniform monkey on your back See that couple having a picnic on the cemetery lawn Only patch of grass left in town No trees in city park any more Office furniture and electric chares People like fire ants Sooner bite your head off as to give you the time of day We’re living in a concrete jungle Gorillas walking `round in there three piece suits Lions in uniform monkey on your back Living in a concrete jungle Survival of the fittest is the way of life Children are dying And baby Ain’t no coming back "Woodstock" |
