[00:00.00]In the Heat of the Summer (LP版) - Phil Ochs
[00:05.57]In the heat of the summer
[00:09.84]When the pavements were burning
[00:13.70]The soul of a city was ravaged in the night
[00:17.25]After the city sun was sinkin'
[00:23.31]Now no one knows how it started
[00:27.94]Why the windows were shattered
[00:31.28]But deep in the dark someone set the spark
[00:35.47]And then it no longer mattered
[00:42.30]Down the streets they were rumbling
[00:46.39]All the tempers were ragin
[00:49.75]Oh where oh
[00:50.91]Where are the white silver tongues
[00:53.19]Who forgot to listen to the warnings
[01:00.67]On and On come the angry
[01:04.52]No longer following reason
[01:07.93]And all the stores were the target now
[01:12.08]Where just the other day they were buyin'
[01:18.69]Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
[01:22.90]Drunk with the lure of the looting
[01:26.03]And the memory of the uniforms
[01:28.11]Shoving with their sticks
[01:30.28]Asking"Are you looking for trouble"
[01:37.20]"No no no" moaned the mayor
[01:41.33]"It's not the way of the order
[01:44.64]"Oh stay in your homes
[01:46.54]Please leave us alone
[01:49.25]"We'll be glad to talk in the morning"
[01:56.20]"For shame for shame
[01:58.38]" wrote the papers
[02:00.77]"Why the hurry to your hunger
[02:04.31]"Now the rubble's resting
[02:05.65]On your broken streets
[02:07.90]"So you see what your rage has unraveled"
[02:15.02]Baricades sadly were risin
[02:19.58]Bricks were heavily flyin'
[02:22.55]And the loudspeaker drowned
[02:24.58]Like a whisperin' sound
[02:26.90]When compared to the angered emotions
[02:33.31]And when the fury was over
[02:36.97]And the Shame was replacing the anger
[02:41.20]So wrong so wrong but we've been down so long
[02:46.33]And we had to make somebody listen
[02:51.50]In the heat of the summer
