[Verse 1]

It's the hottest summer anyone can remember

Everybody knows something's gonna start

This fella sings with a hundred and one reasons
C G
For you to give him the keys, the keys to your heart

Guitars crash land in flames from hell

With bullets for rich or poor

A voice rings out like a bell

Cutting trough the chaos of hate and war

While Mister Nasty makes enemies of new statesmen
C
And others jam with soul but nothing new
C
And Yankee cars play the same old, on the stereo
C G
He walks up to the mike and he shows us what to do
[Pre-Chorus]

Music like this can kick down doors
F
Dressed in rags with style
Eb
They don't believe the truth no more
G
A white riot leaves them bleeding in the aisles
[Chorus]
