Look Out Any Window
Bruce Hornsby
(Scenes From The Southside)

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
See what's going on in the world around you

There's a man working on a boat
Pulling lines from the water
Just trying to stay afloat
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
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
See that's going on in the air around you

Look out
Look out for the big boys telling you everything they're gonna do
Look out
Look out for the fat cat builder man turning this into a waste land
Look out
Look out for the back room boys that say the smoke is gonna blow away
Look out
Look out for the men who say it's okay sitting in a building far away
