Lord, I ain't 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 Everybody's '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 comin' 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 thought 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 ain't 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 o clock 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

Everybody's got a gun

This ain't 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 comin' down It's a long, hot summer

Never seen a drop of rain

It's a long, hot summer

Nothing's gonna kill the pain
