Lord, I aint never seen weather like this

Its 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,

Theyre crazy from the heat

Nobody wants to go outside,

Theres danger in the street



Chorus:

Its 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

Its too hot to sleep, were in trouble so deep

And you know theres no running away



Its 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

Its a long, hot summer

A lot of sweat and misery

Its a long, hot summer

Its killin you and killin me



So you scream and shout, but theres no way out

You just live with a lock on your door

Theres a fire in the sky and the earth is so dry

Like a cracking ground you cant take anymore



Its three oclock in the morning (dont do it)

You wait for the sirens to moan (dont do it)

You stare at the trigger, but somehow you figure

You dont feel like dying alone (dont do it)

The mean streets are getting meaner,

Everybodys got a gun

This aint no city, its a nightmare darlin

Were all dying in the sun



Its 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

Its a long, hot summer

Havent seen a drop of rain

Its a long, hot summer

Nothins gonna kill the pain
