Artist Notes:
"This song was created after strumming around with the guitar and picking out some chords. I had been working really hard and was looking forward to an upcoming holiday." - Linda Maze
lyrics
CONCRETE JUNGLE by LINDA MAZE
I've been working 24 hours a day,
Still don't know what it's all for
These four walls are closin in
Somebody open up the door
I've been making phone calls, I've been paying bills
I still got a dirty floor
I'm in a maze of detail, need a road to my dreams
There must be something more...
So if you've come to take me by the hand, do it right away
Cause I need to get away from here
I'm stressed out and I'm tired and I'm going quite insane
Somebody carry me away from here
From this concrete jungle
People livin' in little boxes, piled up like a lego set
Might not know just where they're goin, only know they haven't got there yet
Well there's more to life than traffic jams, and sirens, and deadlines,
in these concrete wars
Somehow I gotta find a way to leave our heads
Get back to what we came here for....
So if you've come to take me by the hand, do it right away
Cause I need to get away from here
I'm stressed out and I'm weary and I just can't wait forever
Won't you carry me away from here
From this concrete jungle
concrete jungle, man made ensemble, called the concrete jungle
Hey hey hey hey ya, hey hey hey hey ya, had to get away, hey hey hey hey ya
Caught the ferry at 6 oclock, turned off on the island hyway
Just couldn't take it anymore.... NO
So if you've come to take me by the hand, do it right away
Cause I need to get away from here
I'm stressed out and I'm weary and I just can't wait forever
Won't you carry me away from here
You know once I had a dream, I need to find out where it came from,
And I can't do that while I'm still here
I need someone to call my friend, wanna be with nature won't you
Carry me away from here
