Duff Mckagan - Seattle Head lyrics

When I was a young, I had a dream

movin' to the city sight unseen

19 years of age I'm packing my bags Hollywood was all the rage

I came to you in 1984

You showed me in, then you shut the door

It didn't take me long to learn to play the game

A kick in the head always feels the same

Los Angeles, you're a fuckin whore

Hollywood, you're an open sore

I played it well, and I played it fast

Livin' slow was in the past

Chicks and drugs and gettin' burnt

Just a few of the things I learnt'

Got sick and tired of bein' scared as hell

A wasted man, just a shell of myself

But that was then, and this is now

My pretty baby, I've changed somehow

Los angeles, you've lost you're grip

Drugs and lies and whores suckin dick

I don't know if I could do things differently

L.A.'s had me for so long

When I look I can see things differently

What doesn't kill me makes me strong

makes me strong

strong

strong

Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul to you

Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me

you would kill me

You thought you could take me down

you would kill me

Fuck that, power to me

yeah!

Los Angeles, you're a fuckin whore

A kick in the head

I don't know if I could do it differently

L.A. had me for so long

When I look I can see things differently

I get up I come out and now I'm strong

and now I'm strong

Sometimes it goes like this

Sometimes it's the only way to learn

A kick in the head

A kick in the head

A kick in the head

A kick in the head

I wish you were dead

A kick in the head

A kick in the head

A kick in the head

Sometimes it goes like that

A kick in the head
