Grandiosity

Despite all of our grandiosity

We are monkeys in stitches

Driving around in automobiles

Moving from building to building

Shitting where we eat and sleep

Between staring at flashing lights

On screens of all shapes and sizes

In the concrete and glass jungle

That if was built at once from scratch

Would be torn down immediately

.

“Welcome to the jungle

We’ve got fun ‘n’ games

We got everything you want

Honey, we know the names

We are the people that can find

Whatever you may need

If you got the money, honey

We got your disease

Welcome to the jungle

It gets worse here everyday

You learn to live like an animal

In the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see

You’ll take it eventually

You can have anything you want

But you better not take it from me
In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

Knees, knees

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your…
It’s gonna bring you down

Ha!”
