Get Part 1 Get Part 2

Broken glass everywhere

People pissing on the stairs,

you know they just Dont care

I can't take the smell,

I can't take the noise

Got no money to move out,

I guess I got no choice

Rats in the front room,

roaches in the back

Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat

I tried to get away, but I couldnt get far

'Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car

 

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to loose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder

How I keep from going under
