Dear Mr. President

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's such a beautiful city

But the world 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 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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's such a wonderful country

But the man, he's burning it down

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's such a wonderful country

But the man, he's burning it down

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And it's burning down

And it's called the US of A, uh, mmm

I'm walking outside on a sunny day

With no one around

And I wonder what's wrong

The 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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's such a wonderful country

But the man, he's burning it down

He's burning it down

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And it's burning down

And it's called the US of A

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
