En Van Nuys there's porno stars and swap meets wanna buy a car?
The Galleria, strip malls too, old Erwin Park and who are you
To tell me that its better in EE.UU
When you've never seen sunsets in machu picchu?
The upper-lower middle class that you can only find here has
Gente con muchos accentos, viven en apartamentos
The summer's hot, it's hell the bus is always late
The great big cloud of smog that makes you choke and hate
¿Y dejaste tu país por esto?
Van Nuys es very nice
Van Nuys es very nice
Van Nuys es very nice
But its not paradise
En Van Nuys court celebrities can plead no contest or guilty
A student steals his teacher's car for prom but didn't get too far
A strip mall fire rages on Valerio
While Letty bumps la raza on the stereo
¡20 pegaditas, no corridos!
Van Nuys es very nice
Van Nuys es very nice
Van Nuys es very nice
But its not paradise
Dejaste los Andes por
El cemento y los swimming pools
