Lyrics/Song Structure:
=====================
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
	There are days I wanna leave L.A.
	I wanna break out of the maze
	Escape the dark haze these days
	So many kids I know you're feelin' craved
	Crave material things and makin' slave wages
---> Play Riff 2a over:
	Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff
	Livin' where rich people always buyin' some stuff
	So you try to act tough and hide what's inside
	Hold your head high, getting fucked up and throwing dice
---> Play Riff 2b over:
	As bad as yours and bad enough I'm sure
	My heart wants to love but must navigate through war
	Cuz seein' that we're wired to short circuits
	Must mean the meek who will inherit the Earth already work it
---> Play Chorus over:
	There's a land by the sand grab the money
	Plastic the life end of the century
	People actin' fake can't see the omens
	Wake up yourself cause change is comin'
	There's a land by the sand grab the money
	Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy
	And everyone starts to peep around corners
	Before they take their next step they know their borders
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
	In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type netherworld 
	Every time merchandise dips in our coffers
	We buy that image that cost of livin' uh huh
	The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watching
---> Play Riff 2a over:
	Attention shoppers check the selection in your reflection
	Don't you feel good, does it enhance you complextion
	You gotta have if you got to have it
	You gotta have if you got to have it
---> Play Riff 2b over:
	As the world turns and all the money we burn
	On the bullshit to make us happy sometimes we never learn that
	We're self-centered, we think we're better
	We look down as a people upon our elders
---> Play Chorus over:
	There's a land by the sand grab the money
	Plastic the life end of the century
	People actin' fake can't see the omens
	Wake up yourself cause change is comin'
	There's a land by the sand grab the money
	Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy
	And everyone starts to peep around corners
	Before they take their next step they know their borders
---> Play Ending (x3)
---> End on an F5
