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)
