  • 1951 Small town kids
    got nothing to do
    But dream all night
    of movie stars and Cadillac cars
    And beautiful girls
    and big city lights

    LA River dragnet coming down
    LA River dragnet coming down

    From every corner
    of this great old nation
    Good kids succumb
    to the depths of temptation
    Homecoming queens
    get lost in the cracks
    and Quarter Back Heroes
    Get strung out on Smack

    LA River dragnet coming down
    LA River dragnet coming down

    You wake up one day
    with a monkey on your back
    With foil on all your windows
    and you're hiding all your tracks
    The sheriff's shotgun don't make a sound
    When it's pointed at your corpse
    After he shot you down

    LA River dragnet coming down
    LA River dragnet coming down Writer/s: LARS FREDERIKSEN, ROGER MATTHEW FREEMAN, TIMOTHY ARMSTRONG
