Incognito

Out in the heat little child
On the streets runnin' wild
Barely ten, got a gun
So now he thinks that he's a man
(Yes he does)
Teenage girl out to steal
'Cos her baby is in need of a meal
Tryin' to cope as best she can
In the high sunshine, low on hope
Well, there it is summer in the city
Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy
One hundred & risin'
So the tale is told
One hundred & risin'
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 & sold
On every corner, a steady stream
To buy a thrill, a piper's dream
While the heat takes it's toll
It's just another day on a city street
You got to do the best you can to get by
In the high sunshine
One hundred & risin'
So the tale is told
One hundred & risin'
Summer madness will unfold
Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy
