I'm looking outside of my windows The view that I see Is a child and mama And the child is begging for money Tell me why, tell me why The woman is blind is she so broke The kid's dealing crime It's such a beautiful city But the world is burning it down Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea It's such a beautiful city But the world is it burning down I go to my room to turn on the T.V I sit myself down And I start laughing hard 'Cause this man he's asking for money He sats if you send me lots of cash I'll send you Stuff to make you rich fast It's such a wonderful country But the man he's burning it down Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea It's such a wonderful country But the man he's burning it down Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea And it's burning down And it's called the U.S of A. One day I'm going to have lots of money But I'll have to give up For this rich society Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future 'Cause you'll just get it back From the little blind woman With the kid on the corner And the people all over doin' crack Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea It's such a wonderful country But the man he's burning it down Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea And it's burning down And it's called the U.S of A. I'm walking outside on a sunny day With no one around And I wonder what's wrong The I hear this loud piercing siren Oh my God the bomb has just dropped And everybody climbed right on top Screaming what a wonderful country But the man he's burning it down he's burning it down Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea It's such a wonderful country But the man he's burning it down he's burning it down Yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea And it's burning down And it's called the U.S of A.
