Where everyone greeted
[Em]with a mor[G]ning smile
I mean [Dm]the place was [F]so free from crime
You could leave [Dm]your front [C]door [F]open
[G]And if your eye[Am]s were
drawn from a lack of food
Or your pock[Em]ets were s[G]hort on cash
There was al[F]ways someone
close at hand
That you [Dm]could al[C]ways [F]run [G]to

[C]You could have been a doctor
And you could have been a nurse
But [F]these things weren't

You get [Am]off the bus, pick up a paper
And look [G]through the classified
So that [F]you might find a place
Suitable [Dm]for you t[C]o
move in[F]to[G]
Then you [Am]turn around to
pick up the duffel bag
That [G]you brought along
But [C]much [F]to your surprise you find
Your bag [Dm]has taken o[C]ff w[F]alking

[Verse 5]
[C]You dig in your wallet
To get your last dime
But [F]then recall you just spent your
last dime on the newspaper
[D]You're much too prideful
But pride has no defense
When all [G]you've got in your possession
Is [Esus4]the wallet in your [E]hands[Em]
[Am]I'm a

Be[Am]ing in la la l[F]and is l[Am]ike

But [G]only the strong can [F]survive
Living in the land of la la
