Story behind the song
I saw a vid about Venice Beach.
Lyrics
You visit me and say it's great here,
That I can walk down to the pier.
But the bars charge 12 bucks a beer,
There's no grocery stores, just souvenirs.
Well, you may call this paradise.
Look at the views, see all the sights.
So if you think it's paradise,
You haven't seen it from my side.
From this front porch you can see the beach.
Look at all that paradise in reach.
But everyday I am besieged
By bums and losers who beg and leach.
Well, you may call this paradise.
If you lived here, you'd be surprised.
So if you think it's paradise,
You haven't seen it from my side.
What do I do for my holidays?
I fly from here, I do not stay.
I cannot wait to get away
And visit friends who also say:
Well, you may call this paradise.
Nothing's cheap, it's overpriced.
So if you think it's paradise,
You haven't seen it from my side.
Before you cash in all your gold
And buy a place across the globe,
There is something that you should know:
Paradise can be a hellhole.
The amblers crowd the avenue,
The pubs are packed with the parvenu,
The boardwalk's stained with doggy poop,
The homeless tents block every view,
The clueless come from Kalamazoo,
The ocean's a polluted stew,
The restaurants all have endless queues,
If you lived here, then you'll be screwed.
Well, you may call this paradise.
I'm telling you, it ain't that nice.
So if you think it's paradise,
You haven't seen it from my side.
