(song by Lady P. & Don Verde)

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 IT'S 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 PAIS POR ESTO?

VAN NUYS ES VERY NICE,
BUT IT'S 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,
BUT IT'S NOT PARADISE.

DEJASTE LOS ANDES POR EL CEMENTO Y LOS SWIMMING POOLS.
