En Van Nuys there´s porno stars, and swap meets, wanna buy a car?, the galleria strip Malls too, old Erwin Park and who are you to tell me that It´s better in EE.UU. When you´ve never seen sunsets in Machu Picchu! The upper-lower middle class that you can only find here has gente con muchos acentos viven en apartamentos, The summer´s hot, it´s hell the bus is always late, The great big cloud of smog that makes you choke and hate... Y dejaste tu país por esto? Van Nuys es very nice, But it´s not paradise En Van Nuys court celebrities can plead no contest or guilty, A student steals his teacher´s car for prom but didn´t get too far, A strip mall fire rages on Valerio, while Letty bumps la raza on the stereo, "20 pegaditas, no corridos!" Van Nuys es very nice, But it´s not paradise Dejaste los Andes por el cemento y los swimming pools
