But the man he's burning it down
And it's burning down
'Cause you'll just get it back
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
Sing it
'Cause this man he's asking for money
The I hear this loud piercing siren
And everybody climbed right on top
And the people all over, doin' crack
From the little blind woman with the kid on the corner
And the child is begging for money
But the world is burning it down
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
It's such a wonderful country
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down
With no one around and I wonder what's wrong
It's such a wonderful country
One day I'm going to have lots of money
But the man he's burning it down
And it's called the US of A
Screaming, what a wonderful country
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped
The woman is blind
Is she so broke the kid's dealing crime
It's such a beautiful city
And it's called the US of A
But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down
But I'll have to give up for this rich society
He says if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast
I go to my room to turn on the TV
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
And it's burning down
Tell me why, tell me why
I sit myself down and I start laughing hard
But the man he's burning it down
It's such a wonderful country
And it's burning down
