American Heat Lyrics by Document

A Camera Wanders All Night (EP)

2020

[Verse 1]
The hoovervilles a-brewing
A terror gang
The clash is brief
In the ensuing days
The man of the people
In days of hunger
Had families left weeping
No jobs for the poor

[Chorus]
Time and time again
This man is guilty of something evil
Suspiciously wise, seeing eye to eye
Just like in a cop show the villains beat
On the road to justice in the American heat

[Verse 2]
They missed the death toll
At five thousand
In thirty-six
Mind for murder
In thirty-four
For which he surrendered
And fell to the floor
Devastation in the dusk

[Chorus]
Time and time again
This man is guilty of something evil
Suspiciously wise, seeing eye to eye
Just like in a cop show the villains beat
On the road to justice in the American heat

[Outro]
They got him beat, in this American heat
An eye for eye, ripped cheek to cheek
They got him beat
In the American heat
The DUI
To the FBI
Evelyn cries
They missed a beat
From the American heat
