Incognito - One Hundred and Rising Lyrics

Out in the heat, little child
On the streets runnin' wild
Barely ten, got a gun
So now he [Incomprehensible] that he's a man
Yes, he does

Teenage girl, out to steal
'Cause her baby is in need of a meal
Tryin' to cope as best she can
In the high sunshine, low on hope, yeah

Well, there it is
Ooh, summer in the city, ooh
Tryin' to make sense
Of a world gone crazy

One hundred and rising
So the tale is told
One hundred and rising

Old man sitting in the shade
Won't take part in the charade
He may be old, but he ain't a fool
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

Well, there it is
Ooh, summer in the city
Tryin' to make sense
Of a world gone crazy

One hundred and rising
So the tale is told
One hundred and rising

Hey, you gotta do the best
To get by
In the high sunshine

One hundred and rising
So the tale is told, yeah
One hundred and rising
Summer madness will unfold

One hundred and rising
Oh, summer madness will unfold
Summer in the city, yeah

Tryin' to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
A world gone crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah

Tryin' to make sense, say yeah, of a world
A world gone crazy, a world gone crazy
[Incomprehensible], gotta make sense now

Tryin' to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
A world gone crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, oh yeah

Tryin' to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
Crazy, in the city, oh yeah

Tryin' to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy

Tryin' to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
A world gone crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy

Tryin' to make sense of a world
A world gone crazy
