look out any window

Singer:bruce hornsby

there's a man working in a field

sees the rain and it's burning

he's saying this can't be real

as he sees the color

of the fields turning

far away

the men too busy

getting rich to care

close their eyes and

let it all out into the air

hoping nobody else would care

look out any window

look out any open door

look out any window

to see what's going on

in the air around you

there's a man working on a boat

pulling lines from the water

just trying to stay afloat

ohh

filling the nets is getting harder

far away

they bend

the rules so secretly

close their eyes and

let it all out into the sea

hoping nobody else would see

look out any window

look out any open door

look out any window

to see what's going on

in the air around you

far away

too many leaders

let them get their way

close their eyes and

let it all out into the bay

say they'll clear it up another day

look out any window

look out any open door

look out any window

to see that's going on

in the air around you

look out for the big boys

telling you everything

they're gonna do

look out for the fat cat builder man

turning this into a waste land

look out for the back room boys

that say the smoke is gonna blow away

look out for the men

who say it's okay sitting

in a building far away
