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 would be like this

24 hours a day

It's too hot to sleep, we're 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 fot 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 gettin' meaner,

Everybody's got a gun

This ain't no city, it's a nightmare darlin'

We're 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

Haven't seen a drop of rain

It's a long, hot summer

Nothin's gonna kill the pain
