LA

The traffic's choking on celebrity fumes
Recycled air has filled this balloon
It's an hour anywhere you go in LA
Generic suburbs stitched by strip mall
You don't got no Starbucks, you will by the fall
Look at all the choices you got

In LA, in LA, in LA, in LA, in LA
There ain't a mom and pop shop to save it

What have the angels done
This city's not pretty
Ten million strangers' songs
Don't fit in
So maybe I do
Maybe I do

Everyone's better looking than me
Each little nose has got its full warranty
We all need some work done in LA
It's who you know and the others you claim
I'm tight with Jesus, these gods ain't the same
I'm looking for a friend to call

In LA, in LA, in LA, in LA, in LA
Too many diggers and not enough gold

What have the angels done
What have the angels done
