Phil Ochs - The World Began in Eden and Ended in Los Angeles (live) lyrics

Don't you think it's time that we were leaving? For another chance, another place to start Desperate ones that went across the ocean And they wondered how it would all turn out. If you have to beg or steal or borrow Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow They landed on the coldest of the colonies But still they wanted better than the rich They built highways on the houses of the homesteads It happened that way moving west. If you have to beg or steal or borrow Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow So this is where the Renaissance has led to And we will be the only ones to know So take a drive and breathe the air of ashes That is, if you need a place to go If you have to beg or steal or borrow Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow City of Tomorrow, City of Tomorrow
