Bruce Bornsby - Look Out Any Window Lyrics

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 world 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 what's going on in the world 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.
