I was walking down the street the other day

A woman stopped me

She said: why are you looking so down in the mouth?

A
And I told her

A
This is a burnt out town

A
It's full of dirty looks

A
There's ashes on Main Street

A
And the mayor is cooking the books

F                   E
Even my best friends

                 A
Are turning into crooks
[Verse 2]

Yeah this is the burnt out town

New Emperor, same clothes

They dancing on glass ceilings

While the filthy money flows
