Why You’d Want to Live Here

I'm in Los Angeles today [00:00:13]

It smells like an airport runway [00:00:16]

Jet fuel stenches in the cabin[00:00:20]

And lights flickering at random [00:00:23]

I'm in Los Angeles today [00:00:32]

Garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways always creaping[00:00:33]

Even when the population's sleeping [00:00:42]

And I can't see why you'd want to live here [00:00:52]

I'm in Los Angeles today [00:01:03]

Asked a gas station employee if he ever had trouble breathing[00:01:06]

And he said "It varies from season to season kid "[00:01:12]

It's where our best are on display [00:01:23]

Motion picture actors' houses[00:01:26]

Maps are never ever current[00:01:29]

So save your film and $15 [00:01:36]

And I can't see why you'd want to live here [00:01:46]

Billboards reach past the tallest buildings [00:01:50]

"We are not perfect - but we sure try "[00:01:56]

As UV rays "degraded" our youth with time [00:02:03]

The vessel keeps pumping us through this zentropic place[00:02:34]

In the belly of the beast that is Californ-i-a [00:02:35]

I drank from a faucet and I kept my receipts[00:02:39]

For when the weigh me on my way out[00:02:43]

Here nothing is free[00:02:46]

The greyhounds keep coming[00:02:48]

Dumping locusts into the street[00:02:51]

Until the gutters overflow[00:02:53]

And Los Angeles thinks [00:02:54]

"I might explode someday soon "[00:02:58]

It's a lovely summer's day[00:03:19]

And I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos [00:03:25]

Is this the city of Angeles or demons [00:03:41]

Here the names are what remain [00:03:44]

Stars encapsulate the gold lame[00:03:48]

And they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating [00:03:49]

You can't swim in a town this shallow - you will most assuredly drown tomorrow[00:04:00]
