Burnt Out Town - Tom Petty & The Heart Breakers
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

body

how it

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
