《In The Heat Of The Summer(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Heat Of The Summer - Phil Ochs

[00:00:05] In the heat of the summer

[00:00:09] When the pavements were burning

[00:00:13] The soul of a city was ravaged in the night

[00:00:17] After the city sun was sinkin'

[00:00:23] Now no one knows how it started

[00:00:27] Why the windows were shattered

[00:00:31] But deep in the dark someone set the spark

[00:00:35] And then it no longer mattered

[00:00:42] Down the streets they were rumbling

[00:00:46] All the tempers were ragin

[00:00:49] Oh where oh

[00:00:50] Where are the white silver tongues

[00:00:53] Who forgot to listen to the warnings

[00:01:00] On and On come the angry

[00:01:04] No longer following reason

[00:01:07] And all the stores were the target now

[00:01:12] Where just the other day they were buyin'

[00:01:18] Drunk with the memory of the ghetto

[00:01:22] Drunk with the lure of the looting

[00:01:26] And the memory of the uniforms

[00:01:28] Shoving with their sticks

[00:01:30] Asking "Are you looking for trouble "

[00:01:37] "No no no " moaned the mayor

[00:01:41] "It's not the way of the order

[00:01:44] "Oh stay in your homes

[00:01:46] Please leave us alone

[00:01:49] "We'll be glad to talk in the morning "

[00:01:56] "For shame for shame

[00:01:58] " wrote the papers

[00:02:00] "Why the hurry to your hunger

[00:02:04] "Now the rubble's resting

[00:02:05] On your broken streets

[00:02:07] "So you see what your rage has unraveled "

[00:02:15] Baricades sadly were risin

[00:02:19] Bricks were heavily flyin'

[00:02:22] And the loudspeaker drowned

[00:02:24] Like a whisperin' sound

[00:02:26] When compared to the angered emotions

[00:02:33] And when the fury was over

[00:02:36] And the Shame was replacing the anger

[00:02:41] So wrong so wrong but we've been down so long

[00:02:46] And we had to make somebody listen

[00:02:51] In the heat of the summer
