California Babylon — текст песни (Transplants)

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

Theres gonna be a strike and you aint gonna stop us

Three men standing and they love what they do

You wont see it coming, cause they wanna surprise you

Consider it done, theyre gonna stand right by you

American punks dont care about you

Hollywood what you gonna do? [x2]



Dont say that you dont understand

Dont say that you cant comprehend

Dont say that you dont understand, this is california babylon, my man



You can take away the nights with sights with bright lights

Seeks still ride, engage in street fights

Two to the head, pull around, hes dead

Suspect fled, caught up with bloodshed

No sign of hope, we fight and sling dope

Junkies to our left, no fix, they cant cope

Violence wont cease, hand me the crow piece

No peace or sleep, we fight with police



This is the city thatll make all your dreams come true

So pay attention



[chorus]



At last she had arrived, we turned in exhausted

Cocaine in her pocket, she can get busted

Once again she passes, now shes gone

Now shes with her friend, her beautiful young

She showed up on the scene, she was 17

Now shes 21, she does some more coke, she does some more coke

She drinks some whiskey and she smokes some dope

She thinks shes a star [x4]

Do you know who you are? [x4]



[chorus]
