Bill Beare - Back to the Jungle Lyrics

I bought a new computer, I got myself a phone
And all of a sudden I'm out on my own
In a world of scammers, hackers and thieves
Not knowing who or what to believe
I thought I had made it, uploaded, updated
Who did I think I was faking?
An honest man braving a digital landscape
In some fakers sights ripe for the taking

How was I to know I was gonna go back to the jungle
An honest soul out on its own in the jungle
Back to the jungle

Well, imagine my surprise on my screen right before my eyes
Suddenly, I had become a faceless victim
If he'd just come out from behind the code
I could've grabbed him by the throat
And within an inch of his life I could've kicked him
But no, he's off Scott-free looking for another me
Protected by the digital divide
Skulking in the dark, setting up another mark
So close but just over there on the other side

Back to the jungle
In the dark and in the deep
Sucked in by the tricks, unwanted clicks
Unprotected, redirected; hacked and attacked in our sleep

So, in the dark we stab 'cos no one's keeping tabs
No, no one's got a clue who these dudes are
There out in the reaches beyond the data breaches
In stitches beyond those bridges too far
Yeah, they got there before us, encoded the chorus
And we're struggling to hum along to the tune
And we just can't keep pace in a dog eat dog space
Let's face it we're just howling, howling at the moon

So, sick of being bled I'm sticking the web in the trash
Going back to dealing with people and dealing in cash
Stop trying to hum that digital tune, log out and lick my wounds
And at least keep both my hands upon my stash

No, I'm not going back to the jungle
I'm climbing out of the dark and up from the deep
I won't get sucked in by all the tricks and those unwanted clicks
Far away from the pricks and the freaks

No, I'm not going back to the jungle
With all those gigabyte gangsters, shites and shysters
No, I'm not going back to the jungle
