Life in L.A. is hard anyway
And anywhere you go in town;
It’s dangerous to hang around,
But L.A. dreams for the World
/
And L.A. sings for the World.
Mostly songs about romance
Which they confuse with LOVE
That no one knows about and only dance.
/
BUT MY REAL FRIENDS
KNOW TO WATCH MY BACK
AND I WATCH THEIRS
/
WE ALL NEED TO FIND
ONE OR TWO TO
WATCH OUR BACKS
/
TO PROTECT US
FROM ALL ATTACKS
WHETHER STATED OR WHACKS
/
SO BABY, JUST WATCH MY BACK
AND I’LL WATCH YOUR’S
THAT IS OUR SPECIAL PACT
/
L.A. may film the violent movies of the world
But sixty-five Americans will kill Americans
Today and every day this year which makes it clear
Where the real enemy lies and who we should fear
/
If we are to survive the war zones we call home.
All competitors, black holes we call friends,
And our four decade Book of Job of suffering
Which we call Jobs to learn for and where it all ends.
/
BUT JUST A FEW FRIENDS
TO WATCH MY BACK
IS ALL I NEED TO
/
LIVE THROUGH ALL SOCIETY’S
WHACKS AND PERSONAL ATTACKS
/
SO BABY, JUST WATCH MY BACK
AND I’LL WATCH YOUR’S
THAT IS OUR SPECIAL PACT
/
Can you imagine if we all sat for tea
Just long enough to bring the whole
Hate to an end, so that all will see
Sitting quietly and doing nothing is our role
/
In a Universe that stands still like the hummingbird
Always in action but entirely at rest at once,
Moving in no direction but Loves when we have tea
And site quietly to do nothing but see.
/
BUT UNTIL TEA TIME
ARRIVES FOR GOOD
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
/
AND TEA TIME IS THE CLOCK
AND WE FIND A LOVE PILL
THAT DOESN’T KILL
/
BUT ALLOWS US TO UNDERSTAND
THE CONFUSION IN ALL LANDS
AMONG ALL PEOPLE OF ALL KLANS
/
UNTIL THEN, BABY PLEASE
WATCH MY BACK AND
I’LL WATCH YOUR’S
WHICH IS THE SECRET PACT
/
AS LONG AS DANGER IS A FACT
THAT WILL BE OUR SPECIAL PACT
WATCH MY BACK, BABY
PLEASE WATCH MY BACK
/
