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   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   It's such a wonderful country   But the man he's burning it down   And it's burning down   And it's called the US 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      It's such a wonderful country   But the man he's burning it down   Sing it   And it's burning down   And it's called the US 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, he's burning it down   It's such a wonderful country   But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down   And it's burning down   And it's called the US of A
