La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.

Welcome to the land of the permanent Sun
Where the flowers are melted and the future is fun
The freeway lizards are all feelin' so good
On a one-way trip back to west Hollywood, let's go
I feel so good to have a perfect soul
It feels so good to be in total control
I feel so good to have a perfect soul
It feels so good to be in total control
There were spotlights flying through the sky
From a winter wonderland, catching out
The bees hiding in the clouds, no future, bad man
Nothing for Christmas, not very likely
One hundred million Viagra tablets
Stored in a warehouse in a valley
I feel so good to have a perfect soul
It feels so good to be in total control
I feel so good to have a perfect soul
It feels so good to be in total control
It's so convincing, but something's missing
The Sun is kissing my face and erasing my doubts
I'm going out with a bang and the fangs of a parasite
I'm feeling alright
All night, all night, alright, alright, alright, alright
Untainted dreams, etc. & forever
Our hopes, said no one
She's a plastic Cleopatra on a throne of ice
She's a hemophiliac with a dying battery life
Candy-colored fingers and schadenfreude eyes
Thinkin' airbrushed thoughts with a logo on her mind
It's so delightful, it's so insightful
It's so frightful, and I'm feeling it
Every single fucking day-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay
It's time to party
It's time to party, say: Whoo!
In the valley where you wake up every beautiful day
And the world you created in your image is golden
Valley made of mirrors, oh, the light is so bright
You can feel like a pagan, you can feel like a pagan
In the valley where you wake up every beautiful day
And the world you created in your image is golden
Valley made of mirrors, oh, the light is so bright
You can feel like a pagan, you can feel like a pagan
In the valley (feel like a pagan)
Yeah, I live in the valley
In the valley (feel like a pagan)
I heard there's a shaman out in the desert
In the valley (feel like a pagan)
Getting really transcendental and hiking
In the valley (feel like a pagan, feel like a pagan)
In the valley
I'm on a cleanse (feel like a pagan)
In the valley
Yeah, the hot tub is really chill
Feel like a pagan
