It was the town that made America famous     
                                                                        The churches full and the kids  
gone to hell
Six traffic lights and seven cops
And all the streets kept clean  
The supermarket and the drug store and the bars all doin' well
Now they were the folks that made America famous
Our local fire department stocked with short-haired volunteers
And on Saturday night while America boozes
The fire department showed dirty movies
The lawyer and the grocer seein' their dreams come to life on the movie screen
While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen as he tries to hide his fears
And he wipes away his tears
But somethin's burinin' somewhere
DOES ANYBODY CARE?
We were the kids that made America famous
The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to despair
We were lazy long-hairs droppin' out
Lost confused and coppin' out
Convinced our futures were in doubt
And tryin' not to care
We lived in the house that made America famous
It was a run-down slum the shame of all the decent folks in town
We're hippies and some welfare cases
Crowded families of cold black faces
Cramped inside some cracked old boards
The best that we all could afford
But still too fine for the rich landlord to ever tear it down
And we could hear the sound
Of somethin' burnin' somewhere
IS ANYBODY THERE?
We all lived the life that made America famous
Our cops would make a point to shadow us around our town
And we love children put a swastika on the bright red firehouse door
America the beautiful it makes a body proud
And then came the night that made America famous
Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke?
In the tinder-box trap we hippies lived in someone struck a spark
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
Then I saw the first flames gleamin'
And heard the sound of children screamin'
Comin' through the smoke
And somethin's burnin' somewhere
DOES ANYBODY CARE?
Oh it was the fire that made America famous
The sirens wailed and the firemen stumbled sleepin' from their homes
And when the plumber yelled "C'mon let's go!"
They saw what was burnin' and said "Take it slow"
"Let 'em sweat a little"
"They'll never know"
"And besides we just cleaned the chrome"
N.C.                              
Said the plumber "Then I'm goin' alone"
Well he rolled on up in the fire truck
And raised the ladder to the ledge
While me and my girl and a couple of kids were clinging like bats to the edge
We staggered to salvation
Collapsed on the street  
And I never thought that a fat man's face
Would ever look so sweet
I shook his hand in the scene that made America famous
And he smiled from the heart that made America great
We spent the rest of that night in the home of this man that we'd never known before
It's funny; when you get that close it's kind of hard to hate
I went to sleep with the hope that made America famous
I had the kind of a dream that maybe they're still trying to teach in school
O'  the America that made America famous
And of the people who just might understand
That how together yes we can
Create a country better than
The one we have made of this land
We have the choice
To make each man
Who dares to dream
Reachin' out his hand
A prophet or just a crazy damn dreamer or a fraud
Yes a crazy fraud
and somethin's burnin' somewhere
DOES ANYBODY CARE?
IS ANYBODY THERE?
IS ANYBODY THERE?????
