Lyrics/Song Structure:
=====================
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
There are days I wanna leave L.A.
I wanna break out of the maze
Escape the dark haze these days
So many kids I know you're feelin' craved
Crave material things and makin' slave wages
---> Play Riff 2a over:
Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff
Livin' where rich people always buyin' some stuff
So you try to act tough and hide what's inside
Hold your head high, getting fucked up and throwing dice
---> Play Riff 2b over:
As bad as yours and bad enough I'm sure
My heart wants to love but must navigate through war
Cuz seein' that we're wired to short circuits
Must mean the meek who will inherit the Earth already work it
---> Play Chorus over:
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Plastic the life end of the century
People actin' fake can't see the omens
Wake up yourself cause change is comin'
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy
And everyone starts to peep around corners
Before they take their next step they know their borders
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type netherworld
Every time merchandise dips in our coffers
We buy that image that cost of livin' uh huh
The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watching
---> Play Riff 2a over:
Attention shoppers check the selection in your reflection
Don't you feel good, does it enhance you complextion
You gotta have if you got to have it
You gotta have if you got to have it
---> Play Riff 2b over:
As the world turns and all the money we burn
On the bullshit to make us happy sometimes we never learn that
We're self-centered, we think we're better
We look down as a people upon our elders
---> Play Chorus over:
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Plastic the life end of the century
People actin' fake can't see the omens
Wake up yourself cause change is comin'
There's a land by the sand grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin' the frenzy
And everyone starts to peep around corners
Before they take their next step they know their borders
---> Play Ending (x3)
---> End on an F5

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official 311 tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
