## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Vultures sit on skyscrapers

Watchin' for the ones who fall down first

Everything you want in 24 hours

But nothin' you need

Cracks in the pavement, scorpions

Abandoned retail emporiums

Amazon Prime, the new world power

As long as it's cheap

**[Pre-Chorus]**

We don't get no sleep, no sleep at all

We're nocturnal

**[Chorus]**

In this concrete jungle

We all act like animals

We're runnin' on pure instinct

No, we ain't scared of nothin'

In this concrete jungle

We make our homes in city walls

You know we gotta run so wild

To keep up with this lifestyle (In this concrete jungle)

**[Verse 2]**

In this wasteland, you can die of thirst

Or drown in the lack of your own words

Swimmin' with the sharks in your own bathtub

With money to burn

Wolves at your door, moon in the sky

Last in the food chain, get the lights

It's gonna get dark in nature's night club

If we never learn

**[Pre-Chorus]**

We don't get no sleep, no sleep at all

We're nocturnal

**[Chorus]**

In this concrete jungle

We all act like animals

We're runnin' on pure instinct

No, we ain't scared of nothin' (No)

In this concrete jungle

We make our homes in city walls

You know we gotta run so wild

To keep up with this lifestyle

**[Outro]**

In this concrete jungle

In this concrete jungle

**[Verse 1]**

Los buitres en rascacielos

Para ver quién se cae primero

Todo lo que quieres en 24 horas

Si pagas dinero

Cimento roto, escorpios

Abandonados los emporios

Amazon premium, nueva fuerza mundial

Bonito y barato

**[Pre-Chorus]**

No dormimos, no

Nunca

Somos nocturnos

**[Chorus]**

Jungla de asfalto

Instinto animal

Las calles, nuestra libertad

No tenemos miedo a la verdad

(No)

Jungla de asfalto

Grietas en paredes

Quemamos nuestro hogar

Corriendo locos para cantar

(Jungla de asfalto)

**[Verse 2]**

Morirás de sed en este páramo

Te ahoga por falta de palabras, no

Nadando con tiburones en la bañera

Quemando billetes

Luna en el ccielo

Lobos en tu puerta

Gira la cadena trófica

Cae la noche tan de repente (Repente)

Si no aprendemos

**[Pre-Chorus]**

No dormimos, no

Nunca

Somos nocturnos

**[Chorus]**

Jungla de asfalto

Instinto animal

Las calles, nuestra libertad

No tenemos miedo a la verdad

(No)

Jungla de asfalto

Grietas en paredes

Quemamos nuestro hogar

Corriendo locos para cantar

(Jungla de asfalto)

**[Outro]**
