It wasG the town that made America famousC C/B
Am D G The churches full and the kids
gone to hell
GSix traffic lights, and seven cops
And Call the streets kept cleaCn C/B
AmThe supermarket and the dDrug store and the bCars all doin' wGell
GNow they were the folks that made America Cfamous C/B
Our Amlocal fire deparCtment stocked with Dshort-haired voluntGeers
GAnd on Saturday night, while America boozes
The Cfire department showed dirty Cmovies C/B
The Amlawyer and the grocer sC/Beein' tAmheir C/Gdreams come to life on thAme movie scrC/Geen
FWhile the plumber hopes that he Dwon't be seen, as he Ctries to hide his fears
And he wipes away his Gtears
But Bbsomethin's burinin' Asomewhere
DOES BANYBODY GCARE?
GWe were the kids that made America Cfamous C/B
The Amkind of kids that long since drove our Dparents to Gdespair
GWe were lazy long-hairs droppin' out
CLost, confused, and coppin' Cout C/B
AmConvinced our futures Dwere in doubt
CAnd tryin' not to Gcare
GWe lived in the house that made America Cfamous C/B
It was a Amrun-down slum, the Cshame of all the Ddecent folks in Gtown
GWe're hippies and some welfare cases
CCrowded families of Ccold, black C/Bfaces
AmCramped inside some cracked oC/Bld boarAmds
C/GThe best that we all coulAmd afforC/Gd
FBut still too fine for the Drich landlord to ever Ctear it down
GAnd we could hear the sound
Of Bbsomethin' burnin' Asomewhere
IS ABNYBODY TGHERE?
GWe all lived the life that made America Cfamous C/B
Our Amcops would make a point to shadow Dus around our Gtown
GAnd we love children put a swastika on the Cbright red firehouse Cdoor C/B
AmAmerica, the Dbeautiful, it Cmakes a body Gproud
GAnd then came the night that made America Cfamous C/B
Was it Amcarelessness or Csomeone's sick Didea of a Gjoke?
In the Gtinder-box trap we hippies lived in Csomeone struck a Cspark C/B
At Amfirst I thought that I was C/BdreamiAmn'
C/GThen I saw the first flames AmgleamiC/Gn'
FAnd heard the sound of Dchildren screamin'
CComin' through the Gsmoke
And Bbsomethin's burnin' Asomewhere
DOES BANYBODY GCARE?
GOh, it was the fire that made America Cfamous C/B
The Amsirens wailed and the firemen stumbled Dsleepin' from their Ghomes
GAnd when the plumber yelled, "C'mon, let's go!"
CThey saw what was burnin' and said, "TCake itC/B slow"
Am"Let 'em sweat a little"
D"They'll never know"
C"And besides, we just cleaned the chrome"
SaCid the plumber, "Then I'm goin' Galone"
GWell he rolled on up in the fire truck
AmAnd raised the ladder to the ledge
While Cme and my girl and a C/Bcouple of kids were Amclinging like bats to the Dedge
GWe staggered to salvation
CCollapsed on the streeCt C/B
And AmI never thought that a Dfat man's face
Would Cever look so Gsweet
GI shook his hand in the scene that made America Cfamous C/B
And he Amsmiled from the heart that Dmade America Ggreat
We spent the Grest of that night in the home of this man that Cwe'd never known CbeforC/Be
It's Amfunny; when you Dget that close, it's Ckind of hard to Ghate
GI went to sleep with the hope that made America CfamousC/B
I had the Amkind of a dream that Cmaybe they're still Dtrying to teach in Gschool
GO' the America that made America Cfamous C/B
AmAnd of the people who just might C/BunderstAmand
C/GThat how together, Amyes we C/Gcan
FCreate a country better than
DThe one we have made of this land
FWe have the choice
FTo make each man
DWho dares to dream
DReachin' out his hand
CA prophet or just a crazy damn dreamer or a Gfraud
Yes, a Ccrazy Gfraud
and Bbsomethin's burnin' Asomewhere
BDOES ANYBODY GCARE?
IS ANYBODY GTHERE?
IS ANYBODY GTHERE?????
