Global grief hangs heavy as summer heat
Drenched in rage and crying for relief
And I, I, I'm sweating
I am sweating

And all the times that I ignored my scream
A defensive action that preserves my humanity
But still, still, I'm sweating
I am sweating

And I can't cry another lullaby for a baby
That's watched its father die
And I can't sigh another angry sigh for an insecure man
That's telling lies
And I can't change the mind of a lonely guy
Who won't let my friend go rightfully inside

I'm sweating
I am sweating
I am sweating
I'm sweating
