[Verse 1] |
|
Waitress out dressed like nurses in bondage |
|
Brought me the check, said "I want you to sign this" |
|
Union boy standing next to the rastas |
|
There's gonna be a strike and you ain't gonna stop us |
|
Three men standing and they love what they do |
|
You won't see it coming, cause they want to surprise you |
|
Consider it done, they're gonna stand right by you |
|
American punks don't care about you |
|
Hollywood, what you going to do? |
|
Hollywood, what you going to do? |

Don't say that you don't understand |
|
Don't say that you can't comprehend |
|
Don't say that you don't understand |
|
This is California Babylon, my man |
|
Don't say that you don't understand |
|
Don't say that you can't comprehend |
|
Don't say that you don't understand |
|
This is California Babylon, my man |
|
Don't say that you don't understand |
|
Don't say that you can't comprehend |
|
Don't say that you don't understand |
|
This is California Babylon, my man |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
You can take away the nights, the sights with bright lights |
|
Seeks still ride, engage in street fights |
|
Two to the head, pull around, he's dead |
|
Suspect fled, caught up in bloodshed |
|
No sign of hope, we fight and sling shit |
|
Junkies to our left, no fix, they can't cope |
|
Violence won't cease, hand me the chrome piece |
|
No peace or sleep, we fight with police |
|
This is the city that'll make all your dreams come true, so pay attention |
|

|
At last she had arrived, we turned in exhausted |
|
****ing in her pocket, she can get busted |
|
Once again she passes, now she's gone |
|
Now she's with her friend, her beautiful young |
|
She showed up on the scene, she was seventeen |
|
Now she's 21, she does some more coke, she does some more coke |
|
She drinks some whiskey and she smokes some shit |
|
She thinks she's a star [x4] |
|
Do you know who you are? [x4] |
