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!

Sweet Child of Mine lyrics by Guns N Roses

Sweet Child o' Mine is one of GNR's most popular songs. The song's lyrics were written for Rose's then-girlfriend and eventual wife, Erin Everly. Many fans point to the song's introductory guitar riff as being quintessential GNR and that Slash's solo is one of the best in a rock song.

Sweet Child o' Mine Lyrics:

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
