This is the law of the jungle As old and as true as the sky And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper And the wolf that shall break it shall die The arms race long since out of control Too many children starving and cold Diplomats talk but never solve sh** Countries dying bit by bit The TV beams the pictures all over the Earth But the cries of anger are still not heard Assa**ination, terrorism, war and crime Why it's all just a sign of the times Live Aid, Sports Aid, whatever you like It's only a Band-Aid over human strife It's time for your attitude to change Time to realize that we're all to blame This is the law of the jungle As old and as true as the sky And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper And the wolf that shall break it shall die Self destruction is a fashionable trait Born out of boredom in a Thatcherite state Where the money holds the power And the power holds the sway And the people on the outside exist by the day With no hope for the future, just hate for the past Let's live for the moment now the dye has been cast Just reasonless strangers who don't know themselves
Tired of learning, deprived of wealth Desperate days in dangerous times Words without meaning, words without rhyme Thoughts without motive, a panic for pride Where there's no room for reason and nowhere to hide This is the law of the jungle As old and as true as the sky And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper And the wolf that shall break it shall die We're all the products of childhood, it's true We all learned our lessons outside of the schools We failed our exams but we couldn't have cared Who wants to live in a stereotyped world We follow our instincts, we make our mistakes We never gave in where the lesser man breaks We smile at the Devil and spit in his face We welcome the moment of d**h's dark embrace We listen to music, get high, get low Fight with our problems, go with the flow Positive thinking, no more negative fear It's time to start living, now D-day is near This is the law of the jungle As old and as true as the sky And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper And the wolf that shall break it shall die
