No sun will shine in my day today(No sun will shine.)The high yellow moon won't come out to play(Won't come out to play.)Darkness has covered my light (and has changed,)And has changed my day into nightNow where is this love to be found, won't someone tell me?'Cause life, sweet life, must be somewhere to be found, yeahInstead of a concrete jungle where the livin' is hardestConcrete jungle, oh man, you've got to do your best, yeah.No chains around my feet, but I'm not freeI know I am bound here in captivityAnd I've never known happiness, and I've never known sweet caressesStill, I be always laughing like a clownWon't someone help me?Cause, sweet life, I've, I've got to pick myself from off the ground, yeahIn this here concrete jungle,I say, what do you got for me now?Concrete jungle, oh, why won't you let me be now?I said life must be somewhere to be found, yeahInstead of a concrete jungle, illusion, confusionConcreate jungle, yeahConcrete jungle, you name it, we got it, concrete jungle nowConcrete jungle, what do you got for me now?
In the capital city of Jamaica (Kingston) there is a ghetto area that is (or at least was at one time) referred to as "concrete jungle". This song shows how hard it can be to live in a rough area, and how you need to be strong and percevier. My favorite line in the song is when he says
"still i'll be always laughing like a clown". This shows that you can always push on and find some happinnes, even though your situation may be very hard on you. Don't let the situation your in shape you, but change your situation.
