              G                                   C 
There's a man working in a field 
C                      F   C    G 
Sees the rain and it's burning. 
G                               C 
He's saying this can't be real 
C                                  F   C         
As he sees the color of the fields turning. 
D                                    C 
Far away, they're too busy getting rich to care 
Close their eyes and let it all out into the air 
D 
Hoping nobody else would care 
 
G            C      G 
Look out any window 
G            F    C    
Look out any open door 
G            C       
Look out any window 
F                C                          G 
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
