CRYING IN THE JUNGLE
lyrics: J. Morse © 1984
God's eyes view the scene
Watch the world go 'round
Everything seems so small
All your hopes have drowned
A social revolution
Nothing stays the same
The final contribution to
The historical game
Teenage life is out
On the viewing screens
All those in authority
Package youthful dreams
They shove across the counter
Pre-programmed existence
No one cares, but still
They press on with such persistence
Pressure and insistence
Always so consistent
"Here's the way you want to live today. . ."
Has anybody ever heard of a concept they call freedom
No one wants their choices made for them, but no one else believes them
They try to foist their own choice on the young, do they even see them
Does anybody hear the voice of restless youth
Crying in the jungle?
Work for the things they need
A little cash and education
Try to get the attention of
A cruel, unfeeling nation
The people who can help them
The press and politicians
Won't listen to the angry crowd
No heed to their decisions
Startled by their own precision
And their sharpened, clearer visions
That pave the way for more of yesterday. . .
Has anybody ever heard of a concept they call freedom
No one wants their choices made for them, but no one else believes them
They try to foist their own choice on the young, do they even see them
Does anybody hear the voice of restless youth
Crying in the jungle?
Has anybody ever heard of a concept they call freedom
No one wants their choices made for them, but no one else believes them
They try to foist their own choice on the young, do they even see them
Does anybody hear the voice of restless youth
Crying in the jungle?
