lyrics

Long hot summer of ill content
Heat and pressure the city sweats
There’s blood in the street a man shot dead
And no-one believe what policeman said

Ch: It won’t take much just a push and a shove
Look out this city’s getting ready to turn
Now I see black smoke on the skyline
I can see riots and sunshine
When the hell are we ever gonna learn
The next time the city burns

Tension’s turned up to fever pitch
Streets of gold soon turn to shit
Wound so tight and set to snap
Just so hard to keep the peace intact

Somewhere a grieving mother cries
Her boy did not come home that night
Don’t matter if it’s gun or knife
The city takes another life
