Concrete Jungle
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
No sun will shine in my day today.
The high yellow moon, it won't come out to play
Darkness has covered my light - Yeah
And has changed my day into night - Yeah
Where is the love to be found?
Concrete jungle, jungle
Where the living is the hardest.
Concrete jungle, jungle
You got to do your best.
Concrete jungle, jungle
Where the living is the hardest.
Concrete jungle, jungle
You got to do the heaviest.
You got to do your best
