Yeah!

I was walking down the street the other day

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 mainstream

And the mayor is cooking the books


Yeah, even my best friends

Are turnin' into crooks


Yeah this is a burnt out town

New Emperor, same clothes

They're dancing on the glass ceilings

While the filthy money flows


Yes, and here I am stealin' gas

With a garden hose


Look out now...


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 going down but no one knows

Yeah, it's a burnt out town

Ain't dead but getting close
