lyrics

Not As Cool As L.A.

All of the pirates haunting on Sunset
Killing for sushi and wine
Retired drunks with cinnamon smiles
Abandoned ships in decline

New in town all on your own
Not part of any scheme
You’re an original of a hundred clones
An anchor against the stream

Yeah, you’re good, you’re doing well
You got skills your songs can tell
But boy, you’re not as cool as L.A.

Gotta have swag and learn how to brag
Sell junk as if it is gold
It’s not what you are, it’s who you know
In this circus of Rock’n’Roll

Yeah, you’re good, you’re doing well
You got skills your songs can tell
But boy, you’re not so keen on L.A.

Hey boy, yeah you boy
You’re good, yeah you really are
Your songs might hit one day
You’re cool, but not as cool as L.A.

You’re not as cool as L.A.
Not as cool as L.A.
Come back another day
