[Verse 1]
A
Living in a jungle made of concrete and steel
D
Workers are bleeding while the suits make deals
A
General population they can have what they like
E A
The clock is tick tock tickin' from nine to five
[Verse 2]
A
I'm sick and tired of wonderin' what the hell's goin' on
D
While the six o'clock news sings the same old song
A
Poundin' on the animals feelin' this rage
E A
It's time to rattle off the locks and shake the cage
[Chorus]
D D/C A D D/C A
Shakin' the cage, time to get loose
D D/C A D D/C A E
Makin' it rage, shakin' the cage
A
(lost in the jungle)
E
(lost in the jungle) Ooh
A
(lost in the jungle)
E
(lost in the jungle) Mmm
[Verse 3]
A
Runnin' through broken glass and runnin' out of time
D
We better find a solution before we lose our minds
A
We gotta take back the jungle, set the stage
N.C E A
It's time to rattle off the locks and shake the cage
[Chorus]
D D/C A D D/C A
Shakin' the cage, time to get loose
D D/C A D D/C A
Makin' it rage, shakin' the cage
D D/C A D D/C A
Shakin' the cage, time to get loose
D D/C A D D/C A E
Makin' it rage, shakin' the cage
B

(lost in the jungle) nice jungle
(lost in the jungle) (the jungle, the jungle)
(lost in the jungle)
