[00:01.57] Burnt Out Town - Tom Petty & The Heart Breakers
[00:10.69] Yeah
[00:11.28]
[00:15.23] Uh huh
[00:15.79]
[00:19.73] I was walking down the street the other day
[00:22.11]
[00:24.16] And a woman stopped me
[00:25.42]
[00:28.12] She said
[00:28.62] why is it you look
[00:29.64] so down in the mouth
[00:31.40]
[00:33.56] And I told her
[00:34.58]
[00:36.35] This is a burnt-out town
[00:38.38]
[00:39.72] It's full of dirty looks
[00:41.50]
[00:45.82] There's ashes on main street
[00:48.63] And the mayor is cookin' the books
[00:50.62]
[00:54.20] Why even my best friends are turnin' into crooks
[00:59.48]
[01:02.66] Yeah this is a burnt-out town
[01:05.11]
[01:06.54] New emperor same clothes
[01:09.45]
[01:12.72] They're dancing on glass ceilings
[01:15.29] While the filthy money flows
[01:17.80]
[01:20.91] Yes and here I am
[01:22.83] stealing gas with a garden hose
[01:26.72]
[01:29.30] Oh look out now
[01:30.64]
[01:39.30] Yeah
[01:39.73]
[01:40.55] Take that
[01:41.39]
[01:44.01] body
[01:44.47]
[01:49.74] how it
[01:50.47]
[02:04.76] Look here
[02:05.33]
[02:10.50] This is a burnt-out town
[02:12.24]
[02:13.29] The city fathers have come to blows
[02:16.12]
[02:19.82] It's out of their realm of reality
[02:22.03] The truth's indecent when exposed
[02:24.86]
[02:28.02] Yeah it's a burnt-out town
[02:29.85]
[02:31.23] It's goin' down but no one knows
[02:34.06]
[02:36.69] Yeah it's a burnt-out town
[02:39.28]
[02:40.63] Ain't dead but gettin' close
[02:42.87]
