City Of Angels

The city of Angels is crying
The land of sunshine is dying
The streets of gold
Have been recently sold
To the ones with the lowest bids
Mothers and kids
They line the sidewalks
Like hungry hawks
And their babies tear stained eyes
Searchin' the skies
Standing there week after week
Beggin' for something to eat
Their scarred, scabby arms
A donation of the poppy farms
The city of angels have went to hell

Chorus

The city of angels wasn't supposed to fail Money and dreams mixed well
The city of angeles have went to hell
What are we supposed to do?
What are we supposed to do?

And then the little girl said
"Well you made a new sign
from my cardboard bed.
Now where am I going to
lay my head?"
Did our city go up for sale?
Or did it just lose it's veil?
The dreams of what you could be
Are mere memories by the sea
The streets filled with crime
And others just marking time
It's lost it's veil
Oh no it wasn't for sale
It's been abandoned
Is it dead? Is it dead?
The city of angels have went to hell
