No Peace In The Jungle

(album: Got Any Gum? - 1987)

Said the mamba snake to the cockatoo
I can't get no sleep like I used to do
All night long the wild boys run through the streets
They're shooting up the night
I listen to them fight
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fighting nobody knows why
At dawn the refugees are seeking shelter
And from the violence of the night they run in fright
Helter skelter
From the volatile eruption and the wolves of war
Nurse their young famine and destruction
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fighting nobody knows why
