Intro :
I'm looking outside of my windows
The view that I see
Is a chi ld and mama
And the child is begging for money
Tell me wh y tell me why
The woman is blind is she so broke
The kid's dealing crime
It's such a bea utiful city
But the world is burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a bea utiful 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 sta rt 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 wo nderful 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 wo nderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's bu rning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
One day I'm go ing to have lots of mone y
But I'll have to giv e up for this rich society
Oh please Mr. President will you len d me a future
'Cause you'll just get it back
From the li ttle 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 wo nderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's bu rning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
And I wo nder 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 wo nderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Ye a yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wo nderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's bu rning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
