 When it's grey  in L.A.  I sure like  it that way
 Cause there's way  too much sunshine  round here
 I don't know  about you  I get so  sick of blue  skies
 Whenever  they always appear
 And I sure  love the sound  of the rain  pouring down
 On my carport  roof made  out of tin
If  there's a flood  then there's gonna  be mudslides
 We all  have to pay  for our sin
And  I suppose  that they'll close  canyon roads
 And the freeways  will all  start to clog
 And the waters  will rise  and you won't  be surprised
 When your whole  house smells like your wet dog
 When it's grey in L.A. it's much better that way
 It reminds you that this town's so cruel
 Yeah it might feel like fun when you're sportin' sunglasses
 But really you're one more fool
 And I'm just a chump
 And this whole town's a dump
 We came out here to dump all our dreams
 Of making it big but we're stuck in a sig alert nightmare
 That's just how it seems
 And I suppose Laurie David sure knows
 All those cars we drive heat up our earth
 And sea temperatures rise and those constant blue skies
 And brush fires can sure curb your mirth
 Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah OK I should stay here
 There's no place that's better i know
 For a wannabe star stuck in a car
 On a freeway with nowhere to go
