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

Chorus:
(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

Chorus x 3

Summer madness will unfold

Tryin` to make sense of a world gone crazy
Repeat (Fade)
