Less Than Zero

It's a dog eat dog, piranhas eat sharks
Might as well quit before you even start
They say it 'til you know where these dreams are sold
by bank rolls backed by fools gold
Masses end West to Los Angeles
best back in their little nest
Somewhere, nowhere, but not from here
Once they arrive, ambition meets with fear
Insecurities change smiles?
The only constant is "No", struggles, and?
It's a long road to the top of nothing
No morals, no friends, just a love for something
Never to be attained it drains the soul dry
Under a bridge downtown the soul cry
Feeling like the city is all you really have
But when you take a look back, that's really sad

In L.A. things don't always work out quite like they should
(seems like?) (? is no joke)
