Burnt Out Town

Yeah!
I was walking down the street the other day
A woman stopped me
She said :why are you looking so down in the mouth?
And I told herThis is a burnt out town
It's full of dirty looks
There's ashes on mainstreet
And the mayor is cooking the booksWhy even my best friends
are turnin' into crooksYeah this is the burnt out town
New Emperor - same clothes
They dancing on the glass ceilings
While the money flowsYeah, and here I am
Stealin' gas with a garden hoseThis is the burnt out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
the truth's indecent when exposedYeah,it's the burnt out town
It's going down but no one knows
Yeah, it's the burnt out town
Ain't dead but getting close
