Summer time The weather's hotter Running out of holy water I hate all your songs about having fun Next to all the strip malls and the bleached out sun Summertime is a tired muse And all you punks are too cool for school Everybody has a shiny car Everybody knows a shining star, well I hate Santa Monica Boulevard I hate Venice Beach I hate Tarzana too 'Cause I hate Los Angeles, well I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) I hate Los Angeles, well (Hate L.A.!) Everybody has a bright green lawn Down south where the water's gone And everybody has a hand to shake Politics and moves to make, well I want a better scene! Up north where the water's clean I want what L.A. has without all the stuck up noses, please I hate Venice Beach I hate Highland Park I hate Tarzana too I hate Los Angeles, well! I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) I hate Los Angeles (Hate L.A.!) Drive north! ♪ I hate L.A.! (Love L.A.!) I hate L.A.! (Love L.A.!)
