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 word 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 say "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
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it´s such a wonderful country
but the man he´s burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
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 it 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 full over, doin´ crack
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it´s such a wonderful country
but the man he´s burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
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
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
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it´s such a wonderful country
but the man he´s burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it´s burning down
and it´s called the US of A
