One Hundred & Rising Testo

(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 it❝s 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)
