[00:00.00]What Made America Famous? (LP版) - Harry Chapin
[00:07.11]Written by：Harry Chapin/Sandy Chapin
[00:14.22]It was the town that made America famous
[00:20.25]The churches full and the kids all gone to hell
[00:26.23]Six traffic lights and seven cops and all the streets kept clean
[00:32.89]The supermarket and the d**g store and the bars all doing well
[00:40.63]Now they were the folks that made America famous
[00:47.08]The local fire department stocked with shorthaired volunteers
[00:53.36]And on Saturday night while America boozes
[00:56.77]The fire department showed dirty movies
[00:59.63]The lawyer and the grocer seeing their dreams
[01:02.89]Come to life on the movie screens
[01:05.89]While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen
[01:09.26]As he tries to hide his fears and he wipes away his tears
[01:17.12]But something's burning somewhere
[01:20.86]Does anybody care
[01:28.79]We were the kids that made America famous
[01:34.75]The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to dispair
[01:40.90]We were lazy long hairs dropping our
[01:44.17]Lost confused and copping out
[01:47.41]Convinced our futures were in doubt and trying not to care
[01:55.17]We lived in the house that made America famous
[02:01.31]It was a rundown slum the shame
[02:03.64]Of all the decent folks in town
[02:07.65]We hippies and some welfare cases
[02:10.85]Croweded families of coal black faces
[02:13.92]Cramped inside some cracked old boards
[02:16.77]The best that we all could afford
[02:19.80]But still to nice for the rich landlord
[02:22.98]To tear it down and we could hear the sound
[02:29.24]Of something burning somewhere
[02:32.96]Is anybody there
[02:40.30]We all lived the life that made America famous
[02:46.51]Our cops would make a point to shadow us around our town
[02:52.38]And we love children put a swastika
[02:55.60]On the bright red firehouse door
[02:59.00]America the beautiful it makes a body proud
[03:10.34]And then came the night that made America famous
[03:16.33]Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke
[03:22.57]In the tinder box trap that we hippies
[03:24.93]Lived in someone struck a spark
[03:28.92]At first I thought I was dreaming
[03:32.06]Then I saw the first flames gleaming
[03:35.16]And heard the sound of children screaming
[03:38.21]Coming through the smoke
[03:42.77]And something's burning somewhere
[03:46.28]Does anybody care
[03:53.39]It was the fire that made America famous
[03:59.51]The sirens wailed and the firemen
[04:01.87]Stumbled sleepy from their homes
[04:05.40]And the plumber yelled Come on let's go
[04:08.60]But they saw what was burning and said Take it slow
[04:11.79]Let 'em sweat a little they'll never know
[04:14.69]And besides we just cleaned the chrome
[04:18.49]Said the plumber I'm going alone
[04:25.84]He rolled on up in the fire truck
[04:28.96]And raised the ladder to the ledge
[04:31.86]Where me and my girl and a couple of kids
[04:34.69]Were clinging like bats to the edge
[04:38.92]We staggered to salvation
[04:42.18]Collapsed on the street
[04:44.92]And I never thought that a fat man's face
[04:47.66]Would ever look so sweet
[04:56.90]I shook his hand in the scene that made America famous
[05:04.32]And a smile from the heart that made America great
[05:11.31]You see we spent the rest of that night in the home of a man
[05:15.42]I'd never known before
[05:19.68]It's funny when you get that close it's kind of hard to hate
[05:31.18]I went to sleep with the hope that made America famous
[05:38.02]I had the kind of a dream that maybe
[05:40.95]They're still trying to teach in school
[05:44.87]Of the America that made America famous
[05:51.75]And of the people who just might understand
[05:55.46]That how together yes we can
[05:58.81]Create a country better than
[06:01.72]The one we have made of this land
[06:05.36]We have a choice to make each man
[06:08.46]Who dares to dream reaching out his hand
[06:11.78]A prophet or just a crazy God d**n
[06:15.42]Dreamer of a fool yes a crazy fool
[06:22.70]There's something burning somewhere
[06:29.50]Does anybody care
[06:34.44]Is anybody there
[06:37.88]Is anybody there
