A lament  about the state of affairs at the beginning of the Reagan years. 

With respect, I cut and rearranged it extensively, keeping what I felt were still the most relevant lyrics for 2013.
Although there were a number of short instrumental parts later in the track, there was  literally no clean loop for the introduction so I had to create one by cutting and splicing small grabs from the main body of the tune and reconstructing a series of instrumental loops for this purpose. 

The structure of the original is introduction _ poem _ song. 
I rearranged this using the song parts as a chorus with the selected poem parts as a form of verse in between, and attempted to keep true to the flow and build of the original. Not too heavy but still to the point. 

Added some extra drums for more stomp, some subtle effects and layering of bass sections. Moved the tempo up to 107. Hope you enjoy it!

Sweet jesus of shazamareth, it's time to bop while you double drop. We've had this wry fella on the FMB USB for a little while now, but thought it's high time we cleaned it up and sent it out into the big bad real world to earn a crust of its own. Cooder woulda shoulda, y'know?

Flying Mojito Bros - Rattlesnake

Big and beefy breaks and vintage sounds - Even more energetic and dancefloor-ready

Underground Bootlegs, Acetates and Re-Mix series continues with another drop of serious cuts to get beat jugglers, sample diggers and just straight up funk lovers going hog wild over the lashings of drum breaks galore. If you need some deep cover heaters with girth in all the right places, look no further with more breakouts and the grooves that just keep on rolling.

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Broken glass everywhere
People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

[Chorus]
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got social security
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
The bill collectors, they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
I swear I might hijack a plane!

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park cause it's crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun cause they got me on the run
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
Hear them say "You want some more?"
Livin' on a see-saw

[Chorus]

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
