Nomad

Los Angeles leaves me uneasy Squeezing out my patience as it pleases Squeezing out the pomegranate seeds from the trees in our backyard This city is a graveyard of reason Hills and lights and cameras but very little action Scenes on TV, but it's all just another distraction From the destruction, starstruck in the spotlight It's no bark and all bite It's no bark and all bite Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere Something changed or I grew up or both I swear, it wasn't always like this, was it? It gets the best of me, but I can't be my best in that city And the smog never gets any clearer, does it? Selling pomegranates with my brother on the sidewalk Like we're running a lemonade stand Standing on the curb like pomegranate juice is running down my fingers And not your blood on my hands Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere Pomegranates, goddamnit God didn't plan this I can't stand this anymore Pomegranates, goddamnit God didn't plan this I can't stand this anymore Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere I'm going nowhere Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere I said I'm going nowhere Oh, I'm a nomad Going nowhere
