New Drifters, Pt. 2 Lyrics
From Austin to LA, CA
It's a day away
Cross the border we were half awake
Into the Golden State
And the only place for us to play
Was a cabaret
We're kids with on the fashion page
Or too young to stay
And so we're never going back to Los Angeles
If even for a day
Ask us where we'd rather be and we'll say "anywhere"
It's why we hate LA
It's the city with no time to waste
And we just can't stay
So it's goodbye California
For better place
And if we're ever going back to Los Angeles
It just won't be to stay
Ask us where we'd rather be and we'll say "anywhere"
That's why we hate LA
It's a day away
Cross the border we were half awake
Into the Golden State
Was a cabaret
We're kids with on the fashion page
Or too young to stay
And so we're never going back to Los Angeles
If even for a day
Ask us where we'd rather be and we'll say "anywhere"
It's why we hate LA
And we just can't stay
So it's goodbye California
For better place
And if we're ever going back to Los Angeles
It just won't be to stay
Ask us where we'd rather be and we'll say "anywhere"
That's why we hate LA

Nothing beats an LA bashing song. The "New Drifters" series of songs is surely one of the best things AmAnSet has done.
take that LA! You're so stuck up, even a band of hipsters from Austin TX (for crying out loud) can get a good burn on you.
AMEN BROTHER! AMEN!
