watch me
|
|
Waitress out dressed like nurses in bondage
|
Brought me the check, said I want you to sign this
|
Union boy standing next to the rastas
|
There's gonna be a strike and you ain't gonna stop us
|
Three men standing and they love what they do
|
You won't see it coming, cause they wanna surprise you
|
Consider it done, they're gonna stand right by you
|
American punks don't care about you
|
Hollywood what you gonna do? [x2]
|
|
Don't say that you don't understand
|
Don't say that you can't comprehend
|
Don't say that you don't understand,
|
this is California Babylon, my man [x3]
|
|
You can take away the nights with sights with bright lights
|
Seeks still ride, engage in street fights
|
Two to the head, pull a left, he's dead
|
Suspect fled, cut up and blood shed
|
No sign of hope, we fight and sling dope
|
Junkies to our left, no fix, they can't cope
|
Violence won't cease, hand me the crow piece
|
No peace or sleep, we fight with police
|
|
this is the city that'll make all your dreams come true
|
so pay attention
|
|
[chorus][x2]
|
|
At last she had arrived, we turned in exhausted
|
Cocaine in her pocket, she can get busted
|
Once again she passes, now she's gone
|
Now she's with her friend, her beautiful young
|
She showed up on the scene, she was 17
|
Now she's 21, she does some more coke,
|
she does some more coke
|
She drinks some whiskey and she smokes some dope
|
She thinks she's a star [x4]
|
Do you know who you are? [x4]
|
|
[chorus][x5]
