lost angeles

see for yourself and take a look up close
take a trip down to the southern coast
the roads to rome and the powers that be
all point to the angel by the sea

lost angeles
how do you handle this?
you put the stars in my eyes
you told me dreams never die
but you left me there for dead

an industry of no sympathy
can "make it happen" in hollywood cliche
the end of extortion of epic proportion
should only be a lawsuit away

took a holiday down in l.a.
got an agent and now i'm okay
got over yesterday, but it's so hard to say
wallet's on empty, but that's the price you pay
