Long Hot Summer

Lord, I aint never seen weather like this

it's a hundred and ten in the shade

It feels like the devil moved here himself

To see the trouble he made

Everybodys bout to go insane,

they're crazy from the heat

Nobody wants to go outside,

there's danger in the street

It's gonna be a long, hot summer

People dream of leavin town

Get ready for a long, hot summer

Feel the hammer cmon down, comin down

You see the heat comin up from the sidewalk

You can feel the temperature rise

All I see is a blazin sun

Burning a hole in the sky

I never though that it could be like this

24 hours a day

it's too hot to sleep, were in trouble so deep

And you know there's no running away

It's gonna be a long, hot summer

This place is like a burning hell

Get ready for a long, hot summer

There aint no water in the well

it's a long, hot summer

A lot of sweat and misery

it's a long, hot summer

it's killin you and killin me

So you scream and shout, but there's no way out

You just live with a lock on your door

there's a fire in the sky and the earth is so dry

Like a cracking ground you can't take anymore

It's three oclock in the morning (don't do it)

You wait for the sirens to moan (don't do it)

You stare at the trigger, but somehow you figure

You don't feel like dying alone (don't do it)

The mean streets are getting meaner,

Everybodys got a gun

This aint no city, it's a nightmare darlin

Were all dying in the sun

It's gonna be a long, hot summer

People dream of leavin town

Get ready for a long, hot summer

Feel the hammer cmon down, comin down

it's a long, hot summer

haven't seen a drop of rain

it's a long, hot summer

Nothins gonna kill the pain
