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
Eight million citizens, nobody's really listening
Nobody's really watching, eight million ignorant
Eighty thousand teachers, way too many preachers
A thousand of leaders but nobody leads us
Three million beggars, four million pleasers
We are the world but they don't really need us
Ghetto got no funds, ghetto ain't no fun
Ghetto kids got guns, ghetto got no one
Ghetto got no funds, ghetto ain't no fun
Ghetto kids 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 clamor, the violence, the sirens, the heat
Five million scared, three out of five million desperate
One million hurt, thousands arrested
Times are changing, choirs are singing
Lord have mercy, everybody's praying
Forgive us Father for all our sins
The hatred, the greed, the ignorance
The city's on fire
The town is burning down
There ain't no sounds of silence
Tell me who's gonna help us now
Nobody's listening
Eight million people rotting
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
