L.A. people in hot cars
  Don't know which way to go
  No more room on the freeway
  Only want to get home
  Atmosphere is oppressive
  But we're breathing it in
  'Cause we all want to be there
  Back in the city again
  
  Hot Box City
  We're gonna lose control
  The girls look pretty
  And it never gets cold
  
  Inversion layer in summer
  But the people still go
  Too many people in winter
  Trying to hide from the snow
  Little people in hot cars
  Keep the city alive
  That's why we're gonna be there
  That's why we're gonna drive
  
  To Hot Box City
  We're gonna lose control
  The girls look pretty
  And it never gets cold
