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 shootin` 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 fightin` -- 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 fightin` -- nobody knows why
