lyrics

Twisting concrete, smoggy signs I can't make out these blurry lines
Stuck in traffic, 405, I hate this city but it is mine
So much to do and so much to see
I know the names on every marquee
So much of me is in this city
I have to go but I cannot leave

Grime and crime and lack of trees
It never rains and it's always 100 degrees
Walk alone I can barely breath
There are no angels obviously

The water's bad, if there's any outside of the smell it's cool to drink
My will to wake is always bending as the city continues to sink
No one to do and no one to see
I guess I'll just stay home be lonely
So much of me is in this city
I have to go but I cannot leave

Homeless shitting in the streets
Gates of gold right next to chainlink
Murder as likely to come from police
There are no angels obviously
