Runnin’ Hot

When the water main’s a’runnin’ hot
You’d give y’er soul for a frigid drop
Try the olden ways ‘n give that boggy crick a shot

Hop on over that chain-link hurdle
Risk stepping on a snappin’ turtle
Now y’er toe’s bit clean right off, cuz the water main’s runnin’ hot

When the sweat’s a’beadin’ on y’er head
Y’wouldn’t dare tuck into y'er bed
You’d wake up in the night, soppin’ wet, and filled with dread

Y’wanna hold y’er girl in closer
But mixin’ fluids, that ain’t kosher
So the fan blade’s all you got, cuz the world is runnin’ hot

Well the world it is burnin’
But these companies ain’t learnin’
Won’t we take to t’the streets and demand that heads start turning?
They won’t call it climate change
But they’ll buy up all the shade
So a cold beer’s all we got, cuz the world is runnin’ hot

When y’ step fresh outta the shower
You scrubbed n’ hope to smell like flowers
Be a cryin’ shame if’ye sweat right through for hours

You had a real hot date lined up
And now you smell like shit-n-fuck
Y’better hope she thinks y’er hot, ‘cuz brotha thats about all you got!

Well the world it is burnin’
But these companies ain’t learnin’
Won’t we take to t’the streets and demand that heads start turning?
They won’t call it climate change
But they’ll buy up all the shade
So a cold beer’s all we got, cuz the world is runnin’ hot
