When I was a young, I had a dream
Movin' to the city sight unseen
Nineteen years of age I'm packing my bags
Hollywood was all the rage
I came to you in nineteen eight four
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 it differently
L.A. 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 thought you would kill me
You thought you could take me down, you thought 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 (4x)
I wish you were dead
A kick in the head (3x)
Sometimes it goes like that
A kick in the head.
Quando eu era jovem eu tinha um sonho
mudar para cidade fora de alcance
com 19 anos eu fiz minhas malas
Hollywood era o lugar
Eu cheguei em 1984
Você se mostrou, e então fechou a porta
Não demorou muito para aprender a jogar
Um chute na cabeça sempre dói
Refrao
Los Angeles, você é uma vadia
Hollywood você é um mar aberto
Eu joguei bem, e joguei rápido
Viver lentamente ficou no passado
Garotas e drogas e pegando fogo
Apenas alguma das coisas que aprendi
Eu fiquei enjoado e cansado de estar com tanto medo
Um homem vencido, fechado em mim mesmo
Mas aquilo se foi, e isso é agora
Minha linda garota, eu mudei de alguma forma
Refrao
Los Angeles, você perdeu a graça
Drogas e mentiras e vadias chupando
(b-verse)
Eu nao sei se posso fazer as coisas diferentes
L.A.'s se move muito rapido
Quando eu olho eu posso ver as coisas diferentes
O que nao me mata me fortalece
(brigde)
Los Angeles eu nao vendi minha alma para voce
Los Angeles voce pensou que eu iria me matar
Voce pensou que eu iria me derrubar
Foda-se, força pra mim
Refrao
(b-verse)
As vezes é
assim
Um chute na cabeça
