Dear Mr. President

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Ah, ya ya, ya ya ya ya Ya ya, ya ya ya It's such a beautiful city But the world is burning it down [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Ah, ya ya, ya ya ya ya Ya ya, ya ya ya It's such a wonderful country But the man, he's burning it down Ah, ya ya, ya ya ya ya Ya ya, ya ya ya And it's burning down And it's called the US of A [Bridge] One day I'm gonna have lots of money But I'm gonna have to give it up for this rich society, oh-whoa Oh please, Mr. President Won't 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 [Chorus] Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah It's such a wonderful country But the man he's burning it down Sing it Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah And it's burning down And it's called the US of A Ooooo Mm-mm-mm-mmm-mm [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus] Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah It's such a wonderful country But the man, he's burning it down He's burning it down Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah And it's burning down And it's called the US of A (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah) (Yeah yeah, ah-yeah yeah yeah)
