W2HA

Once upon a time in Hollywood land
Where the red earth shakes turning soil to sand
A child from the forest got lost in the jungle
Searching for magic in the city of muggles

Obliterate the youth
Where's the art? Where's the truth?
Where's the heart? What's the use?
When we're all damned from the start, from abuse
Not covered on the news but covered in blood
We crawl through the mud
In the pain and the shame and refuse to be judged
The stars down below ain't stars up above
You live for the show, or you die for the love

In the land of freedom, there's a city of demons
If angels live here, then we can't see them
In the land of freedom, there's a city of demons
Caught in the dark age

Welcome to Hell-A

Welcome to Hell-A

You'll go insane (insane)
Welcome to Hell-A

Now I'm back doing time on the 405
Chained down to the lines trying to stay alive
No freedom or freeway, no reason or leeway
Snake pit, rat race, one way, two-faced

Drive-through, drive-by, low wage and high-rise
And low tides, and barbed wire, and hill fires
It's all wild when everything you see is either FBI or the LAPD
Slaving into the grind or grinding out on the streets
Malibu is burning and I can't breathe
I can feel the Balrog coming for me

In the land of freedom, there's a city of demons
If angels live here, then we can't see them
In the land of freedom, there's a city of demons
Caught in the dark age

Welcome to Hell-A

Welcome to Hell-A
You'll go insane (go insane)
You'll go insane (insane, insane, insane) welcome to Hell-A

Cover shots, empty magazines
Bodies dropped behind the scenes
Buildings fall around the block
Beware, beware of the aftershock

Aftershock

Welcome to Hell-A
Welcome to Hell-A
Welcome to Hell-A

Welcome to Hell-A
