[Intro]
Bb G# Bb Dm G#
[Verse 1]
Bb D# Bb
I'm looking outside of my window
G#
The view that I see is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
Bb
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind
Is she so broke the kid's dealing crime
[Chorus]
G#
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya
G#
It's such a beautiful city
Bb
But the world is burning it down
[Verse 2]
I go to my room to turn on the TV
G#
I sit myself down and I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
Bb
He says if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast
[Chorus]
G#
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya
