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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh where oh [00:00:49]

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

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

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

No longer following reason[00:01:04]

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

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

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

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

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

Shoving with their sticks[00:01:28]

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

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

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

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

Please leave us alone[00:01:46]

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

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

" wrote the papers [00:01:58]

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

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

On your broken streets[00:02:05]

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

Baricades sadly were risin[00:02:15]

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

And the loudspeaker drowned[00:02:22]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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