Lyrics

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.
