lyrics

I told  the preacher’s daughter I was going to move to LA
For better for better for better its better than Bethlehem
she wanted to jump in the car, I said, no one rides for free
you better just lose all those clothes if you wanna ride with me

yeah

I told her...

There's better there's better ways to make money in this fucking town
Just kidnap and Stockholm the daughters
And ransom the sons

Chorus


Sometimes a change of pace can turn to tragedy
We can get famous ...if we follow the Hollywood way
You make the headlines
When you die in LA

Sing a song
Godfather
Die young
Prosper!

Verse

Dear momma was dating an actress but I don't think she’ll be mine
She drowned from the dope
Cause she swam too much at one time

They asked me to speak at her funeral
'Twas a bitter cold september
She said I was good looking
That’s the only thing I remember

Chorus

Sometimes a change of pace can turn to tragedy
We can get famous ...if we follow the Hollywood way
You make the headlines
When you die in LA
Sing a song
Godfather
Die young
Prosper!
