L.A. people in hot cars

Don't know which way to go

No more room on the freeway

Only want to get home

Atmosphere is oppressive

But we're breathing it in

'Cause we all want to be there

Back in the city again



Hot Box City

We're gonna lose control

The girls look pretty

And it never gets cold



Inversion layer in summer

But the people still go

Too many people in winter

Trying to hide from the snow

Little people in hot cars

Keep the city alive

That's why we're gonna be there

That's why we're gonna drive



To Hot Box City

We're gonna lose control

The girls look pretty

And it never gets cold
