Third World - 1865 (96º In The Shade) текст песни

96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, (whoah-yes) in the shade.
Said it was 96 degrees, in the shade.
Ten thousand soldiers, on parade.
Taking I and I to meet a big fat boy,
Sent from overseas,
The queen employ.
Excellency, before you I come,
With my representation,
You know where I’m coming from.
You caught me on the loose,
Fighting to be free,
Now you show me a noose,
On the cotton tree,
Entertainment for you,
Martyrdom for me.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, (whoah-yes) in the shade.
Some may suffer, and some may burn,
But I know that one day, my people will learn,
As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky,
Today I stand here a victim, the truth is I’ll never die.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, (whoah-yes) in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, (whoah-yes) in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, in the shade.
96 degrees in the shade,
Real hot, (whoah-yes) in the shade.
