CA Nation

It's a mystery
Dressing like a target, splitting the seams
It's Sisyphean
With my dreams in the car from the grocery
It sucks me like a thrill
It takes me like a pill
Climbing up this hill
California nation
Is bringin' me 'round
One big invitation
To get off the ground
I'm a lookie-lou
I made it like an art form, I can see you
You're wearing blue
I read you like a book that I can't get through
Hide behind the lie
Squeeze until it's dry
Sing 'cause that's how we get by
California nation
Is bringin' me 'round
One big invitation
To get off the ground
California nation
Is bringin' me 'round
One big invitation
To get off the ground
Life is profound
Be who you wanna be
It's no big mystery
That we're a bunch of freaks
Who hold up empty hands
Don't want no sympathy
That's our philosophy
I'm done with the verse
You're living in the cause but it still needs work
It's paper-thin
The messages are clever if it's hidden within
Read between the lines
Hug it if it cries
Sing 'cause that's how we get by
California nation
Is bringin' me 'round
One big invitation
To get off the ground
California nation
Is bringin' me 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round
California nation
California nation
California nation
California nation
