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 creaping

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 $15

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"degraded" our youth with time

The vessel keeps pumping us through this zentropic place

In the belly of the beast that is Californ-i-a

I drank from a faucet and I kept my receipts

For when the weigh me on my way out

Here nothing is free

The greyhounds keep coming

Dumping locusts into the street

Until the gutters overflow

And Los Angeles thinks

"I might explode someday soon"

It's a lovely summer's day

And I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos

Is this the city of Angeles or demons

Here the names are what remain

Stars encapsulate the gold lame

And they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating

You can't swim in a town this shallow - you will most assuredly drown tomorrow
