Land Of La La - Stevie Wonder
You were brought up in a small town
Where everyone greeted
with a morning smile
I mean the place
was so free from crime
You could leave your front door open
And if your eyes were drawn
from a lack of food
Or your pockets were short on cash
There was always someone
close at hand
That you could always run to
You could have been a doctor
And you could have been a nurse
But these things weren't
good enough for you
So you decided to pack up all you own
And get a one-way ticket there
To a place where all the successful
people went
In order for them to do
I’m a big boy now
she's a strong girl
Remember only
the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I'm a big boy now
she's a strong girl
Remember only
the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
LA LA la la la la LA
hey hey
land of la la
LA LA la la la la LA
hey hey
the land of la la
You get off the bus pick up a paper
And look through the classified
So that you might find a place
Suitable for you to move into
Then you turn around
to pick up the duffle bag
That you brought along
But much to your surprise you find
Your bag has taken off walking
You dig in your wallet
To get your last dime
But then recall you
just spent your last dime
on the newspaper
You’re much too prideful
But pride has no defense
When all you’ve got
in your possession
Is the wallet in your hands
I'm a big boy now
she's a strong girl
Remember only
the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I'm a big boy now
she's a strong girl
Remember only
the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
I'm a big boy now
she's a strong girl
only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
LA LA la la la la LA
hey hey
living in the land of la la
You might get everything you want
But not want everything you get
living in the land of la la
Being in la la land
is like nowhere else
Living in the land one hell of a land
a land full of lost angels
Movie stars and great big cars
and Perrier and fun all day
And that’s enough to make
anybody go wild
In the land of la la
He's a big boy now
she's a strong girl
But only the strong can survive
Living in the land of la la
