In these hard times I like to see The boys and girls together It makes me think of songs and things Of smiles and rainy weather Once that was me but I wanted to be free And I guess you never really know Where you wanna be
Well this whole town is breakin' Even as we sing and dance, you know We're orphans in the snowstorm Dreams of false security, you know Laugh while you can - soon you'll have to play your hand And I guess you never really know What you got to stand
L.A. Explosoin is on my mind Wheels keep on spinnin' around And we don't know Yeah we don't know - oh - ohh
Well you can talk, you can joke 'bout the days of old When kids would run in thousands To the Whiskey, the Trip, on the Sunset Strip Though the cops would swarm around us Those days are gone, but I think I see the dawn And I guess you never really know When it's comin' on
