Power and money can turn to greed or death...
Crimson Fool®
"Los Angeles” (track 5 album - "Sinergy")
(music by D.Hustedt/lyrics by D.Hustedt and D.Stickney)
Livin’ in the fast lane
Always juiced up
Ending in tragedy
Found him in an alley
Needle in his arm
Not how it’s supposed to be
No storybook ending
Constant depending
Lead him down the path he walked
Headed for a downfall
Met up with a brick wall
‘Nother life outlined in chalk
*(Chorus)
Chew you up – spit you out
Dirty business. Hate and sickness
Beat you down – knock you out
‘Nother day in Los Angeles
Ladies on Rodeo
Gucci’s billboard
Thinkin’ they’re too good for me
Livin’ large in the hills
Doesn’t cost much
Just a soul cuz nothin’s free
Livin’ on a fine line
Sugar daddy
Pays the bills – buys her will
Getting’ high on cocaine
Drinkin’ champagne
Just to get through his thrills*
Solo
(Bridge)
Leaders in the ratrace
Hollywood undead
Lookin’ for a pretty
Casting couch to get ahead
Rich are getting richer
Trading flesh for fantasy
Changes - rearranges
Scum of society*
Pusher movin’ product
Goin’ full tilt
Knockin’ on devil’s gate
Junkie on the corner
Getting his fix
Shootin’ veins full of hate
