歌曲歌詞
In the heat of the summer
When the pavements were burning
The soul of a city was ravaged in the night
After the city sun was setting
Now no one knows how it started
Why the windows were shattered
But deep in the dark someone set the spark
And then it no longer mattered
Down the streets they were rumbling
Birds were already flyin'
Oh where oh where are the white silver tongues
Who forgot to listen to the warnings
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
Drunk with the lure of the looting
With the memory of the uniforms shoving with their sticks
Asking are you looking for trouble
No no no moaned the mayor
That's not the way of the order
Stay in your homes please leave us alone
We'll be glad to talk in the morning
For shame for shame wrote the papers
Why the hurry to your hunger
Now the rubble is resting on your broken streets
And you see what your rage has unraveled
And when the fury was over
Shame was replacing the anger
So wrong so wrong but we've been down so long
And we had to make somebody listen
In the heat of summer
