| Don’t you think it’s time that we were leaving? |
| For another chance, another place to start |
| Desperate ones that went across the ocean |
| And they wondered how it would all turn out |
| If you have to beg or steal or borrow |
| Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow |
| They landed on the coldest of the colonies |
| But still they wanted better than the rich |
| They built highways on the houses of the homesteads |
| It happened that way moving west |
| If you have to beg or steal or borrow |
| Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow |
| So this is where the Renaissance has led to |
| And we will be the only ones to know |
| So take a drive and breathe the air of ashes |
| That is, if you need a place to go |
| If you have to beg or steal or borrow |
| Welcome to Los Angeles, City of Tomorrow |
| City of Tomorrow, City of Tomorrow |
