Concrete Jungle Songtext
von Africa Unite

(By Bob Marley)

No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won′t come out to play:
(That high yellow moon won't come out to play)
I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
(And the stage) And the stage my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
Won′t someone tell me?
'Cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -
(Must be somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (la la-la!),
Where the living is harder (la-la!).


Concrete jungle (la la-la!):
Man you got to do your (la la-la!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.
No chains around my feet,
But I'm not free, oh-ooh!
I know I am bound here in captivity;
G′yeah, now - (never, never) I′ve never known happiness;
(Never, never) I've never known what sweet caress is -
Still, I′ll be always laughing like a clown;
Won't someone help me? ′Cause I (sweet life) -
I've got to pick myself from off the ground
(Must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
In this a concrete jungle (la la-la!):
I said, what do you cry for me (la-la!) now, o-oh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won′t you let me be (la la-la!), now.
Hey! Oh, now!

--- Guitar solo ---

I said that life (sweet life) - it must be somewhere to be found
(Must be somewhere for me)
Oh, instead: concrete jungle (la-la!) - collusion (la-la!) -
Confusion (confusion). Eh!

Concrete jungle (la-la!): baby, you've got it in.
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), now. Eh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!).

What do you stand(?) for me (la-la!), now?
