Viewing lyrics for L.A. by The Hot Nothing.

L.A.
El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora
La Reina de Los Angeles
Del Rio de Porciuncula
(Musical echo)

(verse)
It all started in 1781
The Spanish ruled it with a gun
Mexico took it in 1821
By 1848, the U.S. won.

Oil was struck in 1892
This caused a population boom
Riots broke out in 1992
Since then the sky is seldom blue

(Pre chorus)
People like to say they love it
People like to say they hate it

(chorus)
LA it’s the city of angels
Angels that don’t want to come out
LA it’s the city of angels
And it aint nothing
if you got nothing
So if you do let it all hang out

I see palm trees and power lines
Surrounding all that I call mine
A lovely place to pass your time
The city known for glitz and crime

A dark cloud looms in the sky

(Pre chorus)
People like to say they love it
People like to say they hate it

(chorus)
LA it’s the city of angels
Angels that don’t want to come out
LA it’s the city of angels
And it aint nothing
if you got nothing
So if you do let it all hang out
