Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
8 million citizens
Nobody's really listening
Nobody's really watching
8 million ignorant
8000 teachers
we do many preachers
A thousand of leaders
but nobody leads us
2 million beggars
4 million pleasers
We are the world
but they don't believe us
Get to got no funds
get to ain't no fun
Get to kid's got guns
Get to got no one
Get to got no funds
get to ain't no fun
Get to kid's got guns
'cause they got no one
No one no one no one
Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
Nobody's listening to the sounds
of the street
The clam the violence
the silence the heat
5 million set free out of 5
million desperate
1 million hurt thousands arrested
The times are changing
why is this singing
Everybody's praying
Forgive us Father
for all of our sins
The hatred the weak
the innocents
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
There ain't no sound of silence
Tell me who's gonna help us now
Nobody's listening
8 million people rioting
Looking for shelter
But they got nowhere to go
Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
Is anybody listening
fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
Is anybody listening
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
But there's no water
