Song Lyrics

I took a walk down to 12 South
Saw an American flag in a store
Fifteen bucks for a bar of soap
Nobody here wants to be poor
I used to talk to the bums on the beach
About a California dream that could cry
When you get your kicks on the side of the street
And you're lookin' for a herione high

I took a walk down the Malibu coast
I wanna buy a big house on the shore
I want more than I need and I want it for less
I guess I'm an american whore

I fell asleep on a floor in New York
After we drank about a bottle of booze
Waking up sweating with the sun in my face
We gotta pack it up and get on the move
I'm feeling underdressed in this hipster scene
Like I might have missed some sort of cue
I wanna say the right thing and I wanna fit in
But I really think nothing like you

I took a walk down the Malibu coast
I wanna buy a big house on the shore
I want more than I need and I want it for less
I guess I'm an American whore

Singin' la la la la la la la la la la la la la

I've driven out through the countryside
Where the red signs fill up the view
Back in the city a November surprise
You thought your country was blue
You think it's gonna be the end of the world
But for some it's starting anew
You thought you had your hands on the wheel
Now you don't know what to do

I took a walk down the Malibu coast
I wanna buy a big house on the shore
I want more than I need and I want it for less
I guess I'm an american whore

Singin' la la la la la la la la la la la la la
