A#
I'm looking outside of my windows
The view that I see
G#
Is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
A#
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind is she so broke
The kid's dealing crime
G#
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
G#
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is it burning down
A#
I go to my room to turn on the T.V
I sit myself down
G#
And I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
A#
He sats "if you send me lots of cash I'll send you
Stuff to make you rich fast"
G#
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
G#
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
G#
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
F# G# A#
One day I'm going to have lots of money
F#G# A#
But I'll have to give up for this rich society
F#G#A#
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
F# G#
'Cause you'll just get it back
(A#)
From the little blind woman
With the kid on the corner
And the people all over, doin' crack
A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
G#
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
G#
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
A#
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
G#
And I wonder what's wrong
The I hear this loud piercing siren
A#
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped
And everybody climbed right on top
G#
Screaming, what a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
A#
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
G#
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
