Lyrics

She had to leave
Los Angeles
All her toys wore out in black and her boys had too
She started to hate every **** and Jew
Every Mexican that gave her a lotta shit
Every homosexual and the idle rich (idle rich)
She had to get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
She gets confused
Flying over the dateline
Her hands turn red
'Cause the days change at night
Change in an instant
The days change at night
Change in an instant
She had to leave
Los Angeles
She found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend
She bought a Glock on Hollywood Boulevard the day she left
It felt sad, it felt sad, it felt sad
She had to get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
She gets confused
Flying over the dateline
Her hands turn red
'Cause the days change at night
Change in an instant
The days change at night
Change in an instant
The days change at night
Change in an instant
Yeah
