it always was kind of a joke

lyrics

**AMERICAN ROCK SONG [YOU RUINED L.A.]**
A dance on the freeways; of Empty, of leeches
Yoga and YOLO – too cool for the beaches
Live in a car; don’t make friends - just make deals
The city’s a bleach-blonde sex-tape on wheels

But I started to see peeks of Real though that Fake
Oases in places; Los Feliz, Silverlake
Clifton’s and Koda. The Museum of Death
Mexican markets and all the rest

You ruined LA for me
It’s cheap, it’s about an inch deep
It’s phony, tacky and it’s cruel
So I ‘spose it suits you
Just fine – I didn’t need to “make it mine”
I’d never really dug the Left Coast
but now The City of Angels is nothing but ghosts

I can’t go to Canter’s, Randy’s Donuts: a “don’t”
Dusty’s is in the dust; it’s a bust; I just won’t
The sacred Cha-Cha is out, ditto fave Thirsty Crow
For Chrissake my namesake – Pink’s – is no go

You ruined LA for me
It’s cheap, it’s about an inch deep
It’s phony, tacky and it’s cruel
So I ‘spose it suits you
Quite well – the both of you can burn in Hell
Y’know – it always was kind of a joke
but now whatever I found there is nothing but smoke
