Welcome to the Jungle Lyrics Guns N Roses

Welcome to the Jungle is one of GNR's most enduring songs off their debut album Appetite for Destruction. 

The lyrics of "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses capture the chaotic, visceral energy of a city’s dark side, portraying it as an unforgiving urban "jungle" that tests one's resilience and survival instincts. 

Written by Axl Rose and inspired by his own experience moving to Los Angeles, the song takes listeners on a vivid journey through a place where danger, temptation, and decadence loom large. Through gritty, raw language and powerful imagery, Rose warns of the psychological toll this “jungle” can exact, addressing the pull of fame, vice, and thrill against the threat of corruption and isolation. 

With lines like “You’re in the jungle, baby, you’re gonna die,” the song’s intensity speaks to both the excitement and peril of the city, merging menace and allure in a way that resonates with anyone who’s ever faced the challenges of an unfamiliar, intimidating environment.

Welcome to the Jungle Lyrics:

Welcome to the jungle
We got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money honey
We got your disease

Chorus:

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl
That's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

Chorus

And when you're high you never
Ever want to come down, so down, so down, so down YEAH!

You know where you are
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your  knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It's gonna bring you down!
Ha!
