Rick Zunigar - Land of La La lyrics

[Verse 1] You were brought up in a small town Where everyone greeted with a morning smile I mean the place was so free from crime You could leave your front door open And if your eyes were drawn from a lack of food Or your pockets were short on cash There was always someone close at hand That you could always run to You could have been a doctor And you could have been a nurse But these things weren't good enough for you So you decided to pack up all you own And get a one-way ticket there To a place where all the successful people went In order for them to do [Chorus] I'm a big boy now, she's a strong girl Remember only the strong can survive Living in the land of la la I'm a big boy now, she's a strong girl Remember only the strong can survive Living in the land of la la L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, land of la la L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, the land of la la [Verse 2] You get off the bus, pick up a paper And look through the cla**ified So that you might find a place Suitable for you to move into Then you turn around to pick up the duffle bag That you brought along But much to your surprise you find Your bag has taken off walking You dig in your wallet To get your last dime But then recall you just spent your last dime on the newspaper You're much too prideful But pride has no defense When all you've got in your possession Is the wallet in your hands [Chorus] L.A., L.A., la la, la la, L.A., hey hey, living in the land of la la [repeat] [Verse 3] You might get everything you want But not want everything you get Being in la la land is like nowhere else Living in the land, one hell of a land, a land full of lost angels Movie stars and great big cars and Perrier and fun all day And that's enough to make anybody go wild In the land of la la He's a big boy now, she's a strong girl But only the strong can survive Living in the land of la la
