Why does life have to be so hard
Out here on Foothill Boulevard
The skinny boys in muscle cars
Have sold their souls
I set out for Los Angeles
You know it brought me to my knees
I'm holed up in the desert breeze
San Gabriel can go to hell
My heart is broken down
And the racists in this town
Holding hard and fast
They found me out at last
I'm gonna bite my tongue
And get out while I'm young
They say the wind blows east to west
I'd like to put that to the test
Hitch a windsail to my vest
And leave the ground
And blow this town
My heart is broken down
And the racists in this town
Holding hard and fast
They found me out at last
I'm gonna bite my tongue
And get out while I'm young
Why does life have to be so hard
Out here on Foothill Boulevard
The skinny girls in Daddy's car
Have sold their souls
They wanna go go go
My heart is broken down
And the racists in this town
Holding hard and fast
They found me out at last
I'm gonna bite my tongue
And get out while I'm young
