  • Oh, Lord
    So you thank me for my hard work
    But you've had it up to there
    'Cause this shouldn't be hard work
    But I'll fight to care if you'd care to fight
    Thank you for your hard work
    But I've had it up to here
    'Cause this shouldn't be hard work
    Least not the kind that makes us
    Half a person, half a monster
    Stuck together in this hot, scary summer
    Oh Lord
    Hot, scary summer
    Oh
    Remember kissing on the cobblestones
    In the heat of the night
    And all the pretty, young homophobes
    Looking out for a fight
    We got good at pretending
    Then pretending got us good
    We've always been up against it
    But now it's sad to see
    We're up against each other in this hot, scary summer
    Oh, Lord
    Hot, scary summer
    Oh
    Oh
    I live inside you
    And you live in me
    And I live inside you
    And you live in me
    And nothing's gonna change that, dear
    Nothing's gonna change that, dear
    Not even being apart
    We traveled right to the heart
    Of this hot, scary summer
    Oh, Lord
    Hot, scary summer
    Oh
    So you thank me for my hard work
    But we've had it up to here
    'Cause this shouldn't be hard work
    Least not the kind that make us
    Half a person, half a monster
    Stuck together in this hot, scary summer Writer/s: CONOR JOSEPH PATRICK O'BRIEN
