v1: Late night here in la
bright lights trying to make it through another day
white lines
empty bottles on display angels must have left on holiday
u turn on the strip
skid row to malibu
drought police, lot-closure
Dodgers won by two
chorus: everyone wants to be a star here, oh-no
they don't last long here, it's who you know
and whom you screw
come out here and be schooled
cuz this is California and everything, everything, everything you heard is true...
*bridge: this is an overbooked brothel
on top of the lion's den
watch the sheep go from pen to pen
this city will spit you out alive
this city will spit you out dead
*updated 10/23/2017. When I came up with the bridge I thought it was too much. More so for the metal version of this song. When I sing the melody it makes sense so for now it stays. P.S. Verse 2 is pretty awesome. Look for it in the book. Órale.
