Lyrics/Song
Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x4)
--->
Play Riff 1 over:
There are days
I wanna leave LA
I wanna break
out of the maze
Escape the dark haze these days
So many kids I know your feelin'
crazed
Crave material things and
makin' slave wages
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff
Livin' where rich people always buying some
stuff
So you try to act tough
and hide what's inside
Hold your
head high getting fucked up and throwing dice
---> Play Riff 2 (palm
muted) over:
As bad as yours and
bad enough I'm sure
My heart
wants to love but must navigate through war
Cuz seein' that we're wired to short circuit
Must mean the meek who will inherit the the
earth already work it
---> Play Chorus over:
There's a land by the sand grab the
money
Plastic the life end of
the century
People actin' fake
can't see the omens
Wake up
yourself cause a change is comin'
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the
frenzy
And everyone starts to
peep around corners
Before they
take their next step they know they borders
---> Play Intro (x4)
--->
Play Riff 1 over:
In this $19.98
plus shipping and handling type netherworld
Everytime merchandise dips in our coffers
We buy that image that cost of livin' uh
huh
The fakest shit and act cool
our friends our watching
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Attention shoppers check the selection in
your reflection
Don't you feel
good does it enhance your fresh complexion
You gotta have it if you got to have it
You gotta have it if you got to have
it
---> Play Riff 2 (palm muted) over:
As the world turns and all the money we burn
On the bullshit to make us happy sometimes
we never learn
We're self
centered we think we're better
We look down as a people upon our elders
---> Play Chorus
over:
There's a land by the sand
grab the money
Plastic the life
end of the century
People actin'
fake can't see the omens
Wake up
yourself cause a change is comin'
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Now let go of it cause it's
dissolving
It created all your
fears and kept you hustling
Made you sever all the ties to your
family
There's a land by the
sand grab the money
Hollywood is
such a place fuelin' the frenzy
And everyone starts to peep around corners
Before they take their next step they know
they borders
---> Play Ending (x3)
---> End on a F5 (333xxx)
and a F#5 (444xxx)
