Why You'd Want To Live Here (Live)
I'm in Los Angeles today It smells like an airport runway Jet fuel stenches in the cabin And lights flickering at random
I'm in Los Angeles today Garbage cans comprise the medians Of freeways always creeping Even when the population's sleeping
And I can't see why you'd want to live here
I'm in Los Angeles today Asked a gas station employee If he ever had trouble breathing And he said, it varies from season to season, kid
It's where our best are on display Motion picture actors' houses Maps are never ever current So save your film and fifteen dollars
And I can't see why you'd want to live here Billboards reach past the tallest buildings We are not perfect but we sure try As UV rays degrade our youth with time
The vessel keeps pumping us Through this entropic place Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In the belly of the beast That is California
I drank from the faucet And I kept my receipt For when they weigh me on the way Out here nothing is free
But the greyhounds keep coming Dumping locusts into the street 'Til the gutters overflow and Los Angeles thinks I might explode someday soon
It's a lovely summer's day I can almost see a skyline Through a thickening shroud of egos Is this the city of angels or demons?
And here the names are what remain Stars encapsulate the gold lame And they need constant cleaning For when the tourists begin salivating
And I can't see why you'd want to live here Billboards reach past the tallest buildings You can't swim in a town this shallow 'Cause you will most assuredly drown tomorrow
