Lyrics
[verse]
You rolled into the city with a suitcase and a dream
Neon lights are screaming louder than they ever seemed
Everybody's hungry, everybody's on the make
Nobody tells you how much of yourself it's gonna take
You wanted the bright lights, you wanted the roar
Well now you're standing right in the middle, knocking on the door
[chorus]
Welcome to the jungle, it's a hungry town
Everybody's climbing, everybody's going down
Welcome to the jungle, feel the heartbeat rise
You wanted the big time, now open up your eyes
Welcome to the jungle, watch it eat you whole
Welcome to the jungle, this is rock and roll
[verse]
You'll find the diamonds buried under broken glass
Every stranger's got an angle, every promise doesn't last
The city runs on hunger, runs on sweat and blinding speed
Chews you up at midnight, spits you out at the marquee
But if you're strong enough to ride it, if you learn to breathe the smoke
You just might find the fire that turns the struggle into hope
[chorus]
Welcome to the jungle, it's a hungry town
Everybody's climbing, everybody's going down
Welcome to the jungle, feel the heartbeat rise
You wanted the big time, now open up your eyes
Welcome to the jungle, watch it eat you whole
Welcome to the jungle, this is rock and roll
[bridge]
It's a jungle, it's a jungle
Every night's a fight to stay alive
It's a jungle, it's a jungle
Only the wild ones survive
[chorus]
Welcome to the jungle, it's a hungry town
Everybody's climbing, everybody's going down
Welcome to the jungle, feel the heartbeat rise
You wanted the big time, now open up your eyes
Welcome to the jungle, watch it eat you whole
Welcome to the jungle, this is rock and roll
