When Summer Comes

When summer comes we'll run up Johnson's hill
Shake off the dust, survey the wreckage from up high
And wonder how we lived
Then dream of better times
Dream of better lives

When summer comes we'll run back to the system
Get back to work, get back to barely getting by
And wonder why we lived
Dream of making more
As if that's what life's for

And we won't be safe and it won't feel good
And the scar won't fade like we wish it would
But we will survive
When the summer comes

Nothings right but it's our time
Tired as hell but it's our time to shine

And we won't be safe and it won't feel good
And the scar won't fade like we wish it would
But we will still try
When the summer comes

Liars will divide us and steal the truth
Blame us for the trouble and guns they drew but
We will still rise
It won't be fair and it wont be news
The poor will suffer more like we always do but
We will still rise
