《Why You’d Want to Live Here》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:46] Here nothing is free

[00:02:48] The greyhounds keep coming

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

[00:02:53] Until the gutters overflow

[00:02:54] And Los Angeles thinks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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