I'm not dreaming of LA,
'cause dreams don't come true,
I'm already here, why aren't you?
A thick grey smoke fills up the air,
A cloud of smog, but still the city is breathing and I'm never planning to leave
Because It's summer all of the time, even when it's not
The traffic sucks but I don't care
I'd rather be hot enough to feel my fingers
The valley's got porn,
The suburbs have drama,
The beaches have waves, and I'll never leave
No I'll never leave, Los Angeles
And I know I'm not alone when I say if I were somewhere else,
In a second I would take back all of the times I told myself
I've gotta get out, I wanna get out of LA
I think there's something in the air
And no it's not smog that I'm breathing although I'm breathing that too,
I could get on the 405, head to LAX, but I'd turn around 'cause in the end
I'd rather be hot enough to feel my skin burn
The city's got buildings and Hollywood signs,
The ghetto's got gangs and criminal minds,
But I'll never leave Los Angeles
And I know I'm not alone when I say if I were somewhere else,
In a second I would take back all of the times I told myself
I've gotta get out, I wanna get out of LA
I'm not dreaming of LA,
'cause dreams don't come true,
I'm already here, why aren't you?
