Concrete Jungle (Bob Marley cover) Lyrics
No sun will shine in my day today
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
And I say, darkness has covered my life
And changed my day into night
Where is the love to be found?
Tell me please because life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle where living is hardest
Concrete jungle, oh man, you got to do your best
No chains surround my feet, but I'm not free
I know I am bound here in captivity, yeah
I'll never know what happiness is
I'll never know what sweet caress is
Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown
Won't someone help me please?
Because I got to pick myself off the ground
In this concrete jungle, what do you got for me?
Concrete jungle, oh man, why can't you let me be?
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
And I say, darkness has covered my life
And changed my day into night
Where is the love to be found?
Tell me please because life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle where living is hardest
Concrete jungle, oh man, you got to do your best
I know I am bound here in captivity, yeah
I'll never know what happiness is
I'll never know what sweet caress is
Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown
Won't someone help me please?
Because I got to pick myself off the ground
In this concrete jungle, what do you got for me?
Concrete jungle, oh man, why can't you let me be?

I love elliott's rendition of this.
