It's summertime and the country's on the line
The lads are on the streets and the riot's doing fine
Picking up the pieces after the night
Picking up the pieces for another fightThe bricks beat down on the boys in blue
There's no escape, they're coming for you
The clubs come down 'round your head
It's war on the streets and they're running redPolice are running, facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heat
Police are running, facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heatThe law can't stop the anger of the crowds
Still coming through tear-gas clouds
Police are running, facing defeat
Tears are falling in the summer heatPolice are running, facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heat
Police are running, facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heatThe summer heat
The summer heat
I'm dying
