  • While bankers, lawyers and brokers
    Keep score for the buyers and sellers
    Another deal is closing, reads the paper
    What happens to the town? Families move away

    Trees are being torn down at will
    What more do you need to know?
    Rain forests are burnin'
    South Pole is meltin' we are responsible
    We are responsible

    Can anybody hear me
    Somewhere, somewhere in America?

    Watch out, look around, save your tears
    The wildlife is just disappearin'
    They may not see tomorrow
    Losing the shoreline
    There's so many questions
    Man is very dangerous

    Deceivin' the less fortunate
    Hidin' undercover now
    We sacrifice the livin'
    Knowin' who's stronger we are responsible
    We are responsible

    Can anybody hear me
    Somewhere, somewhere in America?

    Freedom is threatened, we have not learned
    Hatred's devastation has left it's scars
    Integrity and honor are all but gone
    Lost inside the shadows
    Where is our compassion?

    Is there anyone savin' trust?
    Would you say you've played your part?
    We should protect the oceans
    A world of life below we are responsible
    We are responsible

    Can anybody hear me
    Somewhere, somewhere in America
    Somewhere, somewhere in America
    Somewhere in America? Publisher: NME MUSIC PUBLISHING COMPANY
