I'm looking outside of my window
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

Ah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is it burning 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

Ah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You're such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down

Ah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S. of A.

One day I'm going to have lots of money
And I'm gonna have to give up
For this rich society
Oh please Mr. President won't 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

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You're such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down

Sing it
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S. of A.
Ooh, ooh

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's burning it down

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
He's burning it down

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S. of A.

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
