[Verse 1]
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 has changed) And has changed my day into night, yeah
Where is the love to be found?
Won't someone tell me? 'Cause life (Sweet life)
Must be somewhere to be found (Out there somewhere for me)

[Chorus]
Instead of concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)
Where the living is hardest (Concrete jungle)
Concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle)
Man, you've got to do your best (Concrete jungle), oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
No chains around my feet but I'm not free, woah
I know I am bound here in captivity (Oh)
Yeah (Never know), I never know happiness (What happiness is)
Yeah (Never know), I never know what sweet caress is (What sweet caress is), still
I'll be always laughing like a clown
(Oh) won't someone help me? 'Cause I (Sweet life)
I've got to pick myself from off the ground (Out there somewhere for me), yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
In this yah concrete jungle (Jungle)
I said, "What do you got for me now?" (Concrete jungle)
Oh, concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)
Ah, won't you let me be now? (Concrete jungle) Ayy, oh, now
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I said that life (Sweet life)
Must be somewhere to be found (Out there somewhere for me)
Oh, instead of concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)
Illusion, confusion (Concrete jungle)

[Outro]
Ayy, concrete jungle
You name it, you've got it in
Concrete jungle, now (Concrete jungle)
Ayy, concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)
What do you got for me now? (Concrete jungle)
