One Hundred & Rising

Out in the heat, little child
On the streets runnin wild
Barely ten, got a gun
So now he [Incomprehensible] that hes a man
Yes, he does

Teenage girl, out to steal
Cause her baby is in need of a meal
Tryin to cope as best she can
In the high sunshine, low on hope, yeah

Well, there it is
Ooh, summer in the city, ooh
Tryin to make sense
Of a world gone crazy

One hundred and rising
So the tale is told
One hundred and rising

Old man sitting in the shade
Wont take part in the charade
He may be old, but he aint a fool
He has seen how dreams are bought and sold

On every corner, a steady stream
To buy a thrill, a pipers dream
While the heat takes its toll
Its just another day on a city street

Well, there it is
Ooh, summer in the city
Tryin to make sense
Of a world gone crazy

One hundred and rising
So the tale is told
One hundred and rising

Hey, you gotta do the best
To get by
In the high sunshine

One hundred and rising
So the tale is told, yeah
One hundred and rising
Summer madness will unfold

One hundred and rising
Oh, summer madness will unfold
Summer in the city, yeah

Tryin to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
A world gone crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah

Tryin to make sense, say yeah, of a world
A world gone crazy, a world gone crazy
[Incomprehensible], gotta make sense now

Tryin to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
A world gone crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, oh yeah

Tryin to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
Crazy, in the city, oh yeah

Tryin to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy

Tryin to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
A world gone crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy

Tryin to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
