[Verse 1]
White white teeth, dark dark skin
Long blond hair, Botox grin
This is what you need to be
Cause this what is real beauty

[Verse 2]
It's all about her, cause she's an out out sell
She'll trade her soul for a burning hell
Perfect plastic nails shall melt
On the fingers of the hand she delt
Cause what she's got just ain't enough
Oh life's a catwalk, life is tough

[Chorus]
Yeah...
This is LA, this is LA, LA
The achromatic city, where the people are so gray
LA, this is LA, this is LA

[Verse 3]
Why don't you try to shout out loud
That personal faults are quite allowed
It's pudding proof that we are real
And she's a hamster on their wheel

[Verse 4]
Yet who am I and who are you
We were so empty, almost see-through
White white teeth are such a must
But sweetheart you can't dazzle us
With smiles that always remind me
Of fallen flowers and rising weeds

[Chorus]
This is LA, this is LA, LA
The achromatic city, where the people are so gray
LA, this is LA, this is LA

[Chorus]
Yeah...
This is LA, this is LA, LA
The achromatic city, where the people are so gray
LA, this is LA, this is LA

[Bridge]
Come come flash your clean clean cash
Gleaming on the outside but you're teeming with decay
Please don't make me stay, don't make me stay
Please don't make me stay another day

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
