Concrete Jungle

Roderick James Byers

I'm going out tonight
I don't know if I'll be alright
Everyone wants to hurt me
Baby, danger in the city

I have to carry a knife
Because there's people threatening my life
I can't dress just the way I want
I'm being chased by the national front

(Concrete jungle) animals are after me
(Concrete jungle) it ain't safe on the streets
(Concrete jungle) glad I got my mates with me

I won't fight for a cause
I don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own

I'm walking home tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
Some throw a bottle right in your face

(Concrete jungle) animals are after me
(Concrete jungle) it ain't safe on the streets
(Concrete jungle) glad I got my mates with me

I'm going out tonight
I only walk where there's lots of lights
In the alleys and the doorways
A broken bottle straight at your face

I won't fight for a cause
I don't want to change the law
Leave me alone, just leave me alone
I want to get out on my own

(Concrete jungle) animals are after me
(Concrete jungle) it ain't safe on the streets
(Concrete jungle) glad I got my mates with me
