Escape To L.a. Lyrics - Singles - The Dingees

Ghetto fight yah don't wanna start a riot yet 

No not alone or in these clothes 

But they just won't listen to me 

Maybe I'm too young or down right naive 

Ain't got no time for your rigid rules 

Ain't got no time for the gutter or to booze 

I made the escape to L.A. I can't just run away 

I got to think about tomorrow and the very next day 

Ghetto fight yah don't wanna start a riot yet 

No not alone or in these clothes 

The old town wanted me to stay 

But I knew that it's only gonna have its way 

They scrub the streets 'cause they're filthy 

Can't trust no one 'cause they're all guilty 

So I sit and overheat surrounded by the sound of the city street 

Red light on the wall now it makes me think about 

Who got the culprit and who got the shake 

What you gonna do when you're thrown back in jail 

Don't worry 'bout the rent now you gotta pay bail 

There's that girl down on Nuclear Blvd. 

Got a guy outside her window and he's beating up the yard 

He can't sleep on the street 

Here come the HBT 

They're gonna give him the sweep
