| 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
 | 
| Chorus:
 | 
| 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 |
