GIt was the town that made America CfamousC/B Am D G The churches full and the kids gone to hell GSix traffic lights, and seven cops C C C/B And all the streets kept clean 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 C C C/B The fire department showed dirty movies 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 C C C/B Lost, confused, and coppin' out 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 C C C/B Crowded families of cold, black faces 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 G C C C/B And we love children put a swastika on the bright red firehouse door 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' G C C C/B In the tinder-box trap we hippies lived in someone struck a spark 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!" C C C/B They saw what was burnin' and said, "Take it slow" Am"Let 'em sweat a little" D"They'll never know" C"And besides, we just cleaned the chrome" N.C. G Said the plumber, "Then I'm goin' alone"
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 C C C/B Collapsed on the street 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 G C C C/B We spent the rest of that night in the home of this man that we'd never known before 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''''' --=====================_799366769==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
