Dear Mr. President

4 Non Blondes

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
