L.A. Symphony
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Verse 1 Yo Yo It's a dog eat dog, piranhas eat sharks Might as well quit before you even start They say until you know where these dreams are sold Rubber bank rolls back like fools gold Masses heading west to Los Angeles Told them they were the best back in their little nest Somewhere, nowhere but not from here Once they arrive ambition meets with fear Insecurities change smiles to more the denial The only consent is no struggles and trials It's a long road to the top of nothing Mo morals, no friends, just a love for something Never to be obtained, it drains your soul dry Under a bridge downtown their so cry Feeling like the city is all you really have But when you take a look back, that's really sad Chorus In L.A. things don't always work out Quite like they should (repeat 2x) Verse 2 Young, dumb, and sprung on fantasy Wants nothing more than to escape reality Needs them badly glitz, glamour, and fame I said on her face like illuminating her name Wearing shame like an overcoat awkward and obvious Did porn for cash, so tasteless and heartless Welcome to darkness, turn out the light Got geeked out by L.A.'s night life Not one thing's right, everything's gone wrong Suppose to be an actress, not dancing in a thong Stomach coke lies long, heroine in her arms Touching parts of men that she lap dance on There's no pride to her storm Forever it warns loud, every single day wishing she was the child Swearin to make the family proud Starts over new, pushing fifty She figured she'd have her breakthrough Chorus In L.A. things don't always work out Quite like they should (repeat 2x) Verse 3 There got to be more than this Big game, big risk The bold and the beautiful, young and reckless The Hollywood dream, heroine Santa Fe The rich and the poor live a few blocks away And it's all in Los Angeles home of the schemes Where the rich get richer trying to sell you a dream Young girl self esteem falls prey to the scene Tall, thin, sex symbols is all she seen And that's all he expects nothing more nothing less New car, clean shoes, got to stay well dressed He needs the best of the best to compete with the rest He passes on 22's Mercedes 500S They say you've gone Hollywood, the same stands true Because if you live in LA, you might lose a piece of you Innocence isn't something to have And can't last in the city that requires a mask Chorus In L.A. things don't always work out Quite like they should (repeat 2x)
