Lyrics
Not In California
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We have not allowed ourselves to comprehend what failure might mean for us
Is it a comfort or a curse?
A knowledge that we could've avoided all this?
The birds all died and the trees caught fire
And the government, it called us crazy
We built a big world, then we watched it all burn
'Cause the television made us lazy
It didn't seem true when the power lines blew
Yeah, the heroin, it made us hazy
I looked up at the clouds as I was freaking out
God save me
We're not in California anymore
We're not in California anymore
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn you
We're not in California anymore
The babies all cry as the scientists try
But the politicians keep on screaming
I'd like a road map, like to turn the clock back
But the internet, it keeps on freezing
Drink up every bottle and I smoke some marijuana
I was hoping I can find some peace
I looked up at the clouds, the light was peaking out
I can't believe it
We're not in California anymore
We're not in California anymore
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn you
We're not in California anymore
Visions of the dissonance
I'm searching for the synonyms
But all that I can say is that I think I lost my innocence
And I bet if I ask everybody that I know
They'd wanna be a kid again
Visions of the dissonance
I'm searching for the synonyms
But all that I can say is that I think I lost my innocence
And I bet if I ask everybody that I know
They'd wanna be a kid again
So they could do it different
We're not in California anymore
We're not in California anymore
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn you
We're not in California anymore
Not in California anymore
Not in California anymore
Don't say I didn't warn you
We're not in California anymore
