I'm looking outside of my windows, the view that I see
|Ab |Ab |
Is a child and mama, and the child is begging for money
|Bb |Bb |
Tell me why, tell me why, the woman is blind is she so broke, the kid's dealing crime
|Ab |Ab |
It’s such a beautiful city, but the world is burning it down
|Bb |Bb |
Aa, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea
|Ab |Ab |
It's such a beautiful city, but the world is burning it down
|Bb |
|Bb |Bb |
I go to my room to turn on the TV, I sit myself down
|Ab |Ab |
And I start laughing hard, ’cause this man he's asking for money
|Bb |Bb |
He says "if you send me lots of cash I'll send you, stuff to make you rich fast"
|Ab |Ab |
It's such a wonderful country, but the man he's burning it down
|Bb |Bb |
Aa, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea
|Ab |Ab |
It's such a wonderful country, but the man he's burning it down

Aa, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea
|Ab |Ab |
And it's burning down, and it's called the U.S of A.
|Gb Ab |Bb |
One day I'm gonna have much of money to give up
|Gb Ab |Bb |
But I'll have to give up, for this rich society
|Gb Ab |Bb |
Oh, oh please Mr. President want you lend me a future
|24Gb |44Ab |
'Cause you'll just get it back
|N.C. |N.C. |
From the little blind woman, with the kid on the corner, and the people all over, doin' crack
|Bb |Bb |
Yea-yea, yea-yea-yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea
|Ab |Ab |
It's such a wonderful country, but the man he's burning it down, sing it
|Bb |Bb |
Yea-yea, yea-yea-yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea
|Ab |Ab |
And it's burning down, and it's called the U.S of A.
|Bb |Bb |
|Bb |Bb |
I'm walking outside on a sunny day, with no one around
|Ab |Ab |
And I wonder what's wrong, then I hear this loud piercing siren
|Bb |Bb |24Bb |
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped, and everybody climbed right on top, screaming
|44Ab |Ab |
What a wonderful country, but the man he's burning it down, he burning it
|Bb |Bb |
down, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea-yea
|Ab |Ab |
It's such a wonderful country, but the man he's burning it down, he burning it

|Ab |Ab |
And it's burning down, and it's called the U.S of A.
