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
