A woman in a wheelchair - no she didn't need it!
She's saving her legs for dancin', in hopes that you would see it
A woman on a billboard - no she wasn't famous
Spent spent millions in advertising just to show her face off

Living in excess, living in excess, living in excess, L.A.
Living in excess, living in excess, living in excess, USA

A very hazy skyline through a thick white fog
From millions of people driving, creating choking smog
I saw the temples of a religion started 50 years ago
Their god was money, they'll make you better if you gave more

Chorus

Banning smoking indoors like that was a solution
If they're worried about their lungs their cars are the pollution
I saw kids with an honest desire to rock
But too many people want to make that their job

Chorus

I saw cops telling people to speed - no you're not allowed
They just know that you'll get hurt if you dont' follow the crowd
I saw a mass of people unafraid of their crimes
Of starting trends in society, sending it into decline
