We Don't Need Another Song About California

Give up or give it a shot
Dedication, to the places
that you never need to hide
Occupations, the opportunity
to see yourself in a light

And all the city fires
And the tabloid lies
And the television guys
For the missions
and the boulevards
And the way it is
when money's all you got

Stop and stare
At the accidents and
stars that bore you
We don’t dare to sing
another song for California

Well, anywhere
Where the city lights
are hopeless for you
We don’t care or need
another song for California

Shut up and give me a shot
On vacation, to the places
that you never want to die
On the station, everybody
hears but no one needs to try
On the telephone, on the
methane dare
Every minute that
you scream

Before the errant scars
and the dying stars
Every second that you
take to fake your life

Stop and stare
At the accidents and
stars that bore you
We don’t dare to sing
another song for California

Well, anywhere
Where the city lights
are hopeless for you
We don’t care or need
another song for California

Stop and stare
At the accidents and
stars that bore you
We don’t dare to sing
another song for California

Well, anywhere
Where the city lights
are hopeless for you
We don’t care or need
another song for California
