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
Aa Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea
It`s such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
I go to my room to turn on the TV
I sit myself down
And I start laughing hard
`Cause this man he`s asking for money
He says "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
Aa 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
Aa 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 gonna have much of money
(To give up)
But I`ll have to give up
For this rich society
Oh, Oh please Mr. President want 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
It`s such a wonderful country
But the man he`s burning it down
(Sing it)
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.
Uu uuuh
I`m walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
And I wonder what`s wrong
Then 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 burning it down)
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 burning it down)
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.
