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

Fuck it
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 angelеs, you've lost you're grip
Drugs and lies and whorеs suckin' dick

I don't know if I could do it 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
Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul to you
Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me
You thought you would kill me
You thought you could take me down
You thought you would kill me
Fuck that, power to me

Los Angeles, you're a fuckin' whore
A kick in the head before I reach my goal

I don't know if I could do it differently
L.A.'s had me for so long
When I look I can see things differently
I stood up, I crawled out and now I'm strong
Now I'm strong

Sometimes it goes like this
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
Sometimes it goes like this
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
