One Hundred And Rising

(J.P. Maunick)

Out in the heat little child

On the streets runnin' wild

Barely ten, got a gun

So now he thinks that he's a man

Yes he does

Teenage girl out to steal

'Cos her baby is in need of a meal

Tryin' to cope as best she can

In the high sunshine, low on hope

Well, there it is summer in the city

Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy

Chorus:

(Du du du du du du)

One hundred and risin'

(Du du du du du du)

So the tale is told

(Du du du du du du)

One hundred and risin'

(Du du du du du du)

Old man sitting in the shade

Won't take part in the charade

He may be old, but he ain't a foo

L He has seen how dreams are bought and sold

On every corner, a steady stream

To buy a thrill, a piper's dream

While the heat takes its toll

It's just another day on a city street

You got to do the best you can to get by

In the high sunshine

Chorus x 3

Summer madness will unfold

Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy

Repeat (Fade)
