Dm7
Somebody's screaming out

Somebody's knocking out
                                                 Am        G
Somebody's calling out, come hear it again
    Dm7
Street bells are ringing out

Young girls are singing out
                             Am           G
Boys are building up to be men

You've got the love

Then here comes the blood last
                                             Am             G
The father, the mother, the sister, the chain

   Dm7
Sweet inspirations

Or a cold hearted nations baby
                                                      F          C         Am   F
The young man, the brothers, the killers explain

You make me feel so sad,    to leave here all alone
     F                                  C
But there is a kid called Hope

And he's holding out his hand
     F                                 C     G/B
He sees the Northern Lights

Above this highrise land

Oh Jungleland

In the city, get out the city pretty quick
                                         Am           G
I've got a prayer, I wanna sing it to you
          Dm7
Here little children forget the wild things
                                        Am         G
But no one listens cause nobody cares
                                  Dm7
When you've got the love drugs

And you've got the long nights
                                           F               G         Dm7
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven

Here comes summer, here comes violence
                                      F             C            Am   F
Over your shoulder the soul boy explains

[Ulangi Chorus]

But blood is thicker than water

But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands

Unto the Devil a daughter

When my love sings it's an angel song she sings it
