Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Burnt Out Town [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Yeah!
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
Theirs ashes on main street
And the mayor is cooking the books

Even my best friends
Are turning into crooks

Yeah this is the burnt out town
New Emperor same clothes
They dancing on glass ceilings
While the filthy money flows

Yes and here I am stealing gas
With a garden hose
Yeah!
Take that, honey!

Instrumental

This is a burnt out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
The truths 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
