| Out in the heat little child
|
| On the streets runnin' wild
|
| Barely ten, got a gun
|
| So now he thinks that he’s a man
|
| Yes he does
|
| Teenage girl out to steal
|
| 'Cos her baby is in need of a meal
|
| Tryin' to cope as best she can
|
| In the high sunshine, low on hope
|
| Well, there it is summer in the city
|
| Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy
|
| (Du du du du du du)
|
| One hundred and risin'
|
| (Du du du du du du)
|
| So the tale is told
|
| (Du du du du du du)
|
| One hundred and risin'
|
| (Du du du du du du)
|
| Old man sitting in the shade
|
| Won’t take part in the charade
|
| He may be old, but he ain’t a foo
|
| L He has seen how dreams are bought and sold
|
| On every corner, a steady stream
|
| To buy a thrill, a piper’s dream
|
| While the heat takes its toll
|
| It’s just another day on a city street
|
| You got to do the best you can to get by
|
| In the high sunshine
|
| Summer madness will unfold
|
| Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy
|
| Repeat (Fade) |
