When you're walking in LA
Everybody knows that you're down
Nobody walks anywhere any other way in this lonesome town
Nothing separating you in the street
But a dollar in the shoes on your feet
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
Ain't nobody knows you're alive
'Cause you're only as good in this city they say as the car you drive
Rolling by all shiny and new
And there's nothing that a poor boy can do
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
Eighteen-wheelers rolling by up on the 405
But I ain't going anywhere 'cause I ain't got a ride
When you're walking in LA
Everybody passes you by
Maybe glance up in the rearview mirror and say "Who's that poor guy?"
Then you're staring out the taillights again
Of a Lexus or a Mercedes-Benz
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
ย
Weekend warriors cruising up and down the boulevard
Back to work on Monday morning, think they've got it hard
When you're walking in LA
You might as well lay down and die
'Cause nothing's gonna be alright anyway no matter how hard you try
A pedestrian in Beverly Hills
Ain't got any place to go but downhill
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
When you're walking in LA
