Concrete Jungle, by Bob Marley

No sun will shine on my day today.
The high yellow moon won’t come out to play.
Darkness has covered my life
and my day has turned into night.

Where is the love to be found?
Won’t someone tell me ‘cause life (sweet life)
must be somewhere to be found.

In this concrete jungle
where the living is hardest.
In this here concrete jungle—
Man, you got to do your best.

No chains around my feet but I’m not free
I know I am bound here in captivity.
Never know what happiness is.
Never know your sweet caresses.

I’ll be always laughing like a clown.
Won’t someone help me ‘cause life
Must be somewhere to be found.
In this concrete jungle

what do you got for me now?
In this here concrete jungle
why won’t you let me be?
In this concrete jungle

I say we’re living in darkness.
In this here concrete jungle
confusion, confusion.
