lyrics

She don't care if you're hungry
She don't care if you're lonely
She takes- she takes more than she gives

She don't care where you sleep at night
She don't care if you don't feel right
She takes - she takes more than she gives

Los Angeles is a mother, but her arms won't keep you warm
Her arms are the outstretched freeways
They'll never keep you safe from harm
Los Angeles is a mother, but her eyes don't comfort you
Her eyes are a million strangers
And they're smiling - right through you

She don't care if your clothes are worn
She don't care if your spirit's torn
She takes- she takes more than she gives

She don't care if you beat your head
She don't care if you wind up dead
She takes - she takes more than she gives

Los Angeles is a mother...

Welcome to L.A. - It's everything they say.
