Well it's an eye for an eye,
|
And a tooth for a tooth. [2x]
|
|
In this struggle for our survival
|
Your best friend can be your biggest rival.
|
If we must live by the laws of the jungle
|
Like dogs and pigs to rumble and tumble now.
|
|
And it's an eye for an eye,
|
And a tooth for a tooth. [2x]
|
It's an eye for an eye,
|
And a tooth for a tooth.
|
|
It's a war for world domination.
|
You've got to stand and declare your posession.
|
Cause we're the righteous won't be the agressors,
|
But we will fight against oppressors now.
|
|
Then it's an eye for an eye,
|
And a tooth for a tooth.
|
Because it's an eye for an eye,
|
And a tooth for a tooth.
|
Because a lie is a lie
|
And the truth is the truth.
|
So it's an eye for an eye,
|
And a tooth for a tooth.
|
|
Hold I, hold to your brush.
|
Hold I, be on your boundry.
|
Hold I, don't you let go now.
|
Hold I, yeah yeah.
|
|
Eye for an eye,
|
Tooth for a tooth.
|
|
And we know we won't be the losers,
|
We'll be the victors, or be the martyrs.
|
Cause we're fighting in the way of the most I,
|
That's how we know we shall not die now.
|
|
Hold I, hold to your brush.
|
Hold I, be on your boundry.
|
Hold I, don't you let go.
|
Hold I...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
We won't be the agressors
|
Fight downpressors now...
|
And dis ya jungle laws here
|
Me say...
|
|
Hold I my brush.
|
Don't you let go man.
