LA is the place to be, and if it aint as shocking as it used to be
take the bullet out your head
put it back in the gun
get your finger on the trigger
welcome, everybody, to the city of sound
they feast on the defeated
turn the city around
all they want to do is get up on your action.
let em go.
my brothers are all proud rockers
wild and aloof and trippin on acid.
my sisters are all stun stunners
wired to the roof and rolling on adam.
baby you live like a suicide
hell, somebody’s got to stand up and die
well, i think i live down in hollywood
never liked no fraud who wastes his money for food
for fifteen-minute freaks
to fan the flannel flame
cuz he used you, man.
come on,
pass the pipe and take the test
cuz youre the young lee harvey
man, you’re david koresh,
and if you dont dig that
why dont you go home
and watch some tivo, fucker
my sisters are all nice rockers
shoes to the roof, and looking up at my way.
my brothers are all jean-cutters,
glued to the tube and jumping like an osprey.
the hey hey never let me down
they love the sound of it getting around
and we say, oh
american girl
fill my heart with gladness, lord
you gotta save my soul
clean my mouth of sadness,
lord
my brothers are all proud rockers
trippin on acid.
my sisters are all stun stunners
rolling on Adam.
