A kick in the head      When I was a young, I had a dream   movin' to the city sight unseen   19 years of age I'm packing my bags    Hollywood was all the rage       I came to you in 1984   You showed me in, then you shut the door   It didn't take me long to learn to play the game   A kick in the head always feels the same      Los Angeles, you're a fuckin whore   Hollywood, you're an open sore      I played it well, and I played it fast   Livin' slow was in the past   Chicks and drugs and gettin' burnt   Just a few of the things I `learnt'      Got sick and tired of bein' scared as hell   A wasted man, just a shell of myself   But that was then, and this is now   My pretty baby, I've changed somehow      Los angeles, you've lost you're grip   Drugs and lies and whores suckin dick      I don't know if I could do it differently   L.A. had me for so long   When I look I can see things differently   What doesn't kill me makes me strong   It made me strong   Strong   Strong      Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul to you   Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me   You thought you would kill me   You thought you could take me down   You thought you would kill me   Fuck that, power to me      Los Angeles, you're a fuckin whore   Hollywood, you're an open sore      I don't know if I could do it differently   L.A. had me for so long   When I look I can see things differently   I get up, I got out and now I'm strong   And now I'm strong      Sometimes it goes like this   Sometimes it's the only way to learn   A kick in the head   A kick in the head   A kick in the head   A kick in the head   I wish you were dead   A kick in the head   A kick in the head...
