No Mercy in July

Rain won’t pour
No rainwater in the reservoir
Cloudless sky
Each year hotter than the one before
Can’t hold out long
One more summer and we may be up and gone
No mercy in July
No mercy and the sun’s on fire
The mercury just keeps on climbin'
No mercy in July
Ain’t one drop
More rainwater in a soda pop
Long hot nights
Start sweatin' and ya just can’t stop
Start sweatin' and ya just can’t stop
No mercy in July
No mercy and the sun’s on fire
The mercury just keeps on climbin'
No mercy in July
If it don’t rain and things don’t change
Gonna' go bust
Four long years, nothin' but tears
Fruitbowl’s gatherin' dust
Still no breeze
It may jump another ten degrees
Rain’d better come down
Shade’s no shelter on days like these
Shade’s no shelter on days like these
No mercy in July
No mercy and the sun’s on fire
Mercury just keeps on climbin'
No mercy in July
No mercy and the sun’s on fire
Mercury just keeps on climbin'
No mercy in July
No mercy in July, mmm
No mercy in July…
