California Lyrics

California's a dying land

And it's hard to not blame it all on man

The lawns are watered and the river's dammed

Ain't it all just going to plan

Catch a wave on the plastic sea

Light a smoke for the burning tree

Fly away on the yellow breeze

Find your state of emergency

Well there's no way this can end well

We've been pannin more than gold

And that blue sky's surely fillin' up with smoke

All the mountains are on fire and that burn ain't gonna slow

Isabella's all dried up and the Kern is running low

California's a dying place

A land of bones with a golden gate

Stand alone but stand back in case

It all breaks off with a big earthquake

Breath the smoke let it fill your lungs

Forget 'bout the rain back where you're from

Dehydrate under a raisin sun

Tax the wages of everyone

Well there's no way this can end well

We've been pannin more than gold

And that blue sky's surely fillin' up with smoke

All the mountains are on fire and that burn ain't gonna slow

Isabella's all dried up and the Kern is running low

California seems all is lost

Line of no return's been crossed

The jig is up and the game is tossed

Take no shame can't blame no cost

Hollywood's sellin' broken dreams

We can all say we've heard those schemes

Take a drag on the golden green

Read the lines not in between

Well there's no way this can end well

We've been pannin more than gold

And that blue sky's surely fillin' up with smoke

All the mountains are on fire and that burn ain't gonna slow

Isabella's all dried up and the Kern is running low

Isabella's all dried up and the Kern is running low

Isabella's all dried up and the Kern is running low
