L.A. Symphony

L.A. Symphony - Less Than Zero lyrics

Verse 1

Yo Yo

It's a dog eat dog, piranhas eat sharks

Might as well quite 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 entertained, your dreams are so 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 La things don't always work out

Quite like they should (repeat 2x)

Verse 2

Young, dumb, and sprung on fantasy

Wants nothing more 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

Dead porn for cash, so tasteless and heartless

Welcome to darkness, turn out the light

Got duked out for a ladies night light

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 dances on

There's no pride to her storm

Forever it warns loud, every single day wishing she was the child

Words to make the family proud

Start of a new, pushing fifty

She figured she'd have her breakthrough

Chorus

In La 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, here on 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

If you live in LA, you might lose a piece of you

In the senses it's something to have, it cant last

In the city that requires a mask

Chorus

In La things don't always work out

Quite like they should (repeat 2x)
