Lyrics
I wake to the sound of sirens screaming down my street a couple of gunshots later, I jump to my feet “Freeze Punk, put your hands up!”, I think better him than me but I peek through my blinds to make sure I’m not who they mean I look out my window and I wonder, how much time is left for me and what’s my destiny and I shout out cause all I wanna do is scream Here in my dirty Urban Jungle, a place where any given day I might be getting blown away so I’ll shout now cause I won’t be here forever baby I turn on the News to help me clear my aching head A gunman inside a mall, 12 hostages, 3 dead “He was quiet guy, won’t hurt a fly”, I hear his next door neighbor say but I guess he was hunting people, not the flies today I look out my window and I wonder,how much time is left for me and what’s my destiny and I shout out cause all I wanna do is scream Here in my dirty Urban Jungle, a place where any given day I might be getting blown away so I’ll shout now cause I won’t be here forever baby I exist here trying to stay alive and survive for a little while, just another night So I sit and I ponder and I look out my window and I wonder, how much time is left for me and what’s my destiny and I shout out cause all I wanna do is scream Here in my dirty Urban Jungle, a place where any given day I might be getting blown away so I’ll shout now cause I won’t be here forever baby won’t be here forever wont’ be here forever
