Scott Thurston - Burnt Out Town lyrics

Yeah! [Verse One] 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 her This is a burnt out town It's full of dirty looks There's ashes on main street And the mayor is cooking the books Even my best friends Are turning into crooks [Chorus] Yeah this is the burnt out town New Emperor same clothes They dancing on gla** ceilings While the filthy money flows Yes and here I am stealing gas, with a garden hose Yeah! Take that, honey! [Instrumental] [Verse Two] 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 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
