Hornsby, Bruce - 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
To see what's going on
In the air around you

There's a man working on a boat
Pulling lines from the water
Just trying to stay afloat, ohh
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
To 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
To 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

    "The fat cat builder man"........

  2. M.... T....

    The red hat on the Farmer.......yep.

  3. J.... J....

    This is by far one of the best groups ever put together!!

    The place where Bruce comes from is diverse. A small town that is home to the oldest colony in the states. A 45 minute drive across the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel to one of the most famous beaches on the east coast, Virginia Beach. Then go west to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and the largest naval base in the entire world. Every morning we could stand on the deck of the carrier and watch the fishing boats roll out to sea.

  5. J.... K....

    This Hornsby video is really good. Sort of like Bob Seger. Hollywood inspired.
    Look out any window, look out any open door, ta see what's goin' on.
    Far away across the fields. Mostly I watch this for the boat video.
    Too many leaders let'em get their way. Atlantic. Maybe Canadian?
    Gordon Lightfoot approved for sure.

  6. T.... B....

    I kept waiting for his follow-up titled, 'Whole Wheat' but it never came!

  7. S.... S....

    Bruce is awesome!

  8. P.... O....

    "Far away, too many leaders let them get their way." True but nowadays is too many average everyday citizens made up of small business owners and common folk letting leaders get their way where they are trying to steal this country away from us. Actually we aren't really letting them get their way, we are calling them on it,but they are doing it anyway. Political leaders or big corporations, they are one in the same. Sometimes the tail (politicians) wags the dog, and sometimes the dog (big corp) wags the tail. The people however always should stay together with a healthy distrust and distance enough away from both to protect themselves, and that is not what we are seeing today. We are seeing identity politics make people side with government and ideology and big business over their fellow American citizen who they actually have much more in common with and we need to get back to the olden days. Progress is actually regress and I say, if it wasn't broken to begin with, then their was no need to change it.

  9. J.... K....

    Tom Petty was from Gatorsville. Free fallin' straight into Reseda.
    That's why he said and how he done. Look out any window or open door.
    Far away too many leaders close their eyes and get their way.
    Man tilling a field sees an Aussie f-111 overhead wings extended.
    Picks up a thermal and with a whiff straight into outer space and back.
    Look out of any window around here. Stars above and what's up there.
    Boats. Horses. Trains.

  10. C.... Z....

    I LOVE HIM!

  11. A.... ....

    Look down my cubicle

  12. J.... K....

    On airplanes I always prefer the window seat, 600 mph thank you.
    See a lot of cows in the field. Fat cat in dc wants to drain the swamp.
    Teach everyone some of that Christian morality New York City style.

  13. M.... H....

    I discovered Bruce when I was in the 5th grade. His music changed my life at a young age. The Range is one of my favorite bands with an allstar lineup. Bruce's music has so much meaning to it. I seen Bruce and the noisemakers in philly when in 11 th grade. My first concert and boy did he not let down. Thanks Bruce and the Range for what you guys have done.

  14. R.... C....

    The piano in this songs !!!

  15. J.... C....

    Uma das melhores canções desse icone da música.

  16. l.... ....

    this song has to be related to Box of Rain

  17. M.... T....

    Someone needs to put "Make America Great" on that farmers red hat. Perfect.... Great song for the moment indeed.

  18. M.... C....

    Bruce was the shit.

  19. M.... R....

    Look out! Wake up! The current generation is robbing and destroying the world with no concern for any future humanity. It’s nothing to cheer about.

    M.... R....

    Thank you Bruce Hornsby for emphasizing that fact so many Americans won’t look at and consider.

  20. R.... T....

  21. T.... M....

    Inspiring mental gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. P.... A....

    This magical masterpiece brings back the days when we actually cared about making a difference in this world - see the ecstatic crowd so in tune with the message of this song. And yet, 25 years later and we have elected a president who wants to make America great again...by leaving the Paris Climate Accord, bringing back coal, loosening water standards, building oil pipelines, undoing auto emission standards - the list goes on and on. How did this man ever get to this position of power. More importantly, when will Americans wake up and vote him out of office? Let's get back on the right track before it is truly too late.

  23. l.... l....

    I love its music. Gosto muito mesmo.

  33. G.... F....

  34. M.... M....

    Bruce Hornsby is the greatest about getting his point across! Rock on!!!!!!!!!

  35. M.... M....

  44. A.... M....

    This song has always been great, but it’s been stuck in my head for now for days. I’m a little sad it’s taken the three decades for folks to start to look out their windows and care, but I’m hopeful.

  49. B.... R....

    A song that is current once again......

  50. h.... f....

    they write songs of our demise & we sing ,like I saw the lights go out on Broadway , a song of our demise & Adel Someone like you

  51. H.... Z....

    This is what would make great again.

    Of note he has keyed on two big issues we have to deal with in the coming decades: food and fuel (oil).

  52. p.... w....

    The guy in the field reminds me of Levon Helm...

  85. B.... P....

    Timeless and timely

  86. M.... C....

    This song playing while looking through a big book of American landscapes made me as a teenager want to go across the country as soon as I got my drivers license... find the great plains and open it up westbound.

  87. W.... D....

    wds says///just have fun while you can////enjoy life////peace///

  88. s.... ....

    "Look out for the big boys
    Telling you everything
    They're gonna do"


    Underline those lyrics. We're not a part of their plan. The future of this planet isn't a part of their plan. M-O-N-E-Y is the be all/end all.

  89. M.... A....

    Lindíssima canção!!!
    (Brasil, Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina)

  90. G.... S....

    I love how the video was edited, how the concert scene was incorporated to the farm and boat scene and how the actors lead the viewers to how the lyrics were interpreted. Love the guys whenever they look out the window: life's reality and simplicity. Though this reached # 35 in charts, truly this is bruce's cherished song for me

  91. J.... S....

    my ol' buddy ...Levon Helm... as the Farmer!!! R.I.P. Levon!!!!

  92. S.... R....

    This was written during the waning years of the Reagan Administration, but sadly things could apply to the Ignorant Trump Administration today. Some of the global warming deniers need to listen to this.

    S.... R....

    Good God what an insane comment to make on a beautiful song.Al Gore is 10,000 times the liar you think DJT is.

  93. W.... T....

    best son ever made

  94. M.... M....

    Love his music

  95. h.... f....

    Nuclear waste piped directly to the rivers now for quite some time now
