Well there's a hundred million people Headed for the street tonight And it's the hottest day of the year The sun is just dripping from the sky And the big black boots of the police Are dying to stomp some sense into you And isn't that a shame You know it's a shame ain't it people Ain't it a shame, boy What's happening to our planet Who do you blame, boy Nobody understands it Hey baby, I see you standing under neon lights And you look so hot The sweat's dripping down off the end of your hair But your kicks ain't safe You leave it to fate You got a dangerous machine Ain't it a shame, boy What's happening to our planet Who do you blame, boy Nobody understands it I said we... We don't understand it Do you understand it Now the ozone's gone And everybody's skin is bubbled or fried The water you can't drink Your mind don't think A new disease will make you frown And the police rod is sticking up so hard Ready to beat you back down And isn't it a shame
