Forgotten (Lost Angels) Lyrics
This is a mean and cold town,
I hate this fucking place.
Watch the rats as they all drown,
Dying slowly day by day.
Decrepit and falling down,
Cesspool of human waste.
Swallow profit in deep,
Now in death you'll finally know the taste.
There are no souls left here to save.
Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced.
You fucking hypocrite,
But hooks in lips they do not lie.
Compassion served not on your plate,
How many of them have you watched die?
I can't sing you a happy song,
i can't write you a sing-a-long,
The only catchy hook i've got,
Is the one in my bleeding gut.
Burn it down
There are no souls left here to save.
Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced.
Dead stares, dead eyes,
Choked hopes and vacant minds,
Blank words, blank lives,
The end result of endless lies.
There's no angels here,
To get lost in the first place
Jackhammer a fault line,
Pray for earthquakes.
Mulhollands's on fire,
And my cig started it.
'92 should have burnt this fucker down,
We're here to finish it.
I'm not impressed by much here,
Much less what you have to say.
Don't give a fuck who you know,
i just want to leave this hellhole
Know that you mean nothing to me,
Nor the lies that seep from your teeth.
Won't piss on you if you're on fire,
One more self-important liar.
Burn it down.
I hate this fucking place.
Watch the rats as they all drown,
Dying slowly day by day.
Decrepit and falling down,
Cesspool of human waste.
Swallow profit in deep,
Now in death you'll finally know the taste.
Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced.
But hooks in lips they do not lie.
Compassion served not on your plate,
How many of them have you watched die?
i can't write you a sing-a-long,
The only catchy hook i've got,
Is the one in my bleeding gut.
Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced.
Choked hopes and vacant minds,
Blank words, blank lives,
The end result of endless lies.
To get lost in the first place
Jackhammer a fault line,
Pray for earthquakes.
Mulhollands's on fire,
And my cig started it.
'92 should have burnt this fucker down,
We're here to finish it.
Much less what you have to say.
Don't give a fuck who you know,
i just want to leave this hellhole
Nor the lies that seep from your teeth.
Won't piss on you if you're on fire,
One more self-important liar.

^- '92 was the year of the Los Angeles riots.
I fucking hate LA it's such a fucking discrase to evry single american alls it is is stupid gossip girls and the media. I would love to burn that piece of shit to the ground
Should be: "I can't SING you a happy song" instead of write. Just a minor typo.
I'm just guessing, but I don't think Randy likes Los Angeles very much. ;-)
this song is amazing, lots of powerful fuckin hatred and energy went into these lyrics. I'm pretty sure this song is about Randy fuckin hating Los Angeles.
oh yeah and what happened in '92 that should have burnt this fucker down ... anyone?
ah i see thanks
yeah, its definitely a song about los angeles. even the whole "Lost Angels" part shows that (lost angels - las angeles). plus all the lyrics are pretty clear, such as the jackhammer/fault line remark as well as the pray for earthquakes line. definitely a killer song.
One more self-important liar.
fuck this song's so good. my first time listening to it.. I just got the album and fuck i already left a comment on every song, this just gets better and better.. descending was the best so far though.. whoa
Holy shit-good song. Definitely about LA and burning it down and shit. The people in LA are screwed up violent junkies....hence not being angels, just a shitload of bums.
In his words:
"The song is about specifically music industry people in Los Angeles. They're a bunch of fucking scumbags who are self-important, with inflated egos. They think the world revolves around them."
