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. 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
