To your question, "is that true?" Yes. Picture a town 1/1000th the size of Torrance, California. Picture that town, the town with a highschool, a junior high, and a Blockbuster. Picture that town with a beach for the tourists in the Summer and conveniently flooded streets for the citizens in the rainy Winter. No mall, no movie theater, no bowling alley. Welcome to Carpinteria, I live in the third house on the left.

I'm in Los Angles today
I asked a gas station employee
If he ever had trouble breathing
He said 'It varies from season to season, kid.'

It's where our best are on display
Motion picture actor's houses maps
Are never ever current
So save your film and fifteen dollars

And I can't see why you'd want to live here
Billboards reach past the tallest buildings
We are not perfect, but we sure try

It's a lovely summer's day
And I can almost see the skyline through
A thickening shroud of egos
(is this the city of angels or demons?)

Here the names are what remain
Stars encapsulate the golden lane
And they need constant cleaning
For when the tourists begin salivating

You can't swim in a town this shallow
You will most assuredly drown tomorrow.
