Burnt Out Town Lyrics
Yeah
Uh huh
I was walking down the street the other day
And a woman stopped me
She said, 'why is it you look so down in the mouth'?
And I told her:
This is a burnt-out town
It's full of dirty looks
There's ashes on main street
And the mayor is cookin' the books
Why, even my best friends are turnin' into crooks
Yeah this is a burnt-out town
New emperor, same clothes
They're dancing on glass ceilings
While the filthy money flows
Yes, and here I am, stealing gas with a garden hose
Oh look out now!
Yeah
Take that!
Look here
This is a burnt-out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
The truth's indecent when exposed
Yeah it's a burnt-out town
It's goin' down but no one knows
Yeah it's a burnt-out town
Ain't dead, but gettin' close
Uh huh
And a woman stopped me
She said, 'why is it you look so down in the mouth'?
And I told her:
It's full of dirty looks
There's ashes on main street
And the mayor is cookin' the books
New emperor, same clothes
They're dancing on glass ceilings
While the filthy money flows
Oh look out now!
Take that!
This is a burnt-out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
The truth's indecent when exposed
It's goin' down but no one knows
Yeah it's a burnt-out town
Ain't dead, but gettin' close
