And I told her This is a burnt out town Is full of dirty looks The ashes are mainstream And the mayor is cooking the books I even like those friends I turn them into crooks Yeah this is the burnt out town You wear the same clothes They dancing on the glass ceilings While the money flows She doesn't know who I am She doesn't care Yeah!
