In the heat of the summer

When the pavements were burning

The soul of a city was ravaged in the night

After the city sun was sinkin'

Now no one knows how it started

Why the windows were shattered

Another black keep face down in the road

Who's life did not seem tonight

Down the streets they were rumbling

All the tempers were ragin

Oh where oh

Where were the white silver tongues

Who forgot to listen to the warnings

On and on they were coming

Bricks buttle were flyin'

And the loudspeaker drowned

Like a whisperin' sound

Compared to the angered emotions

No no no moaned the mayor

That's not the way of the order

Stay in your homes please leave us alone

We'll be glad to talk in the morning

For shame for shame wrote the papers

Why the hurry to your hunger

Now the rubble's resting on your broken streets

You see what your rage has unraveled

And when the fury was over

Shame was replacing the anger

So wrong so wrong but It's gonna down so long

We had to make somebody listen

In the heat of the summer

In the heat of the summer

In the heat of the summer

In the heat of the summer
