Not in California Lyrics
[Intro]
We have not allowed ourselves
To comprehend what failure might mean for us
Is it a comfort or a curse
The knowledge that we could have avoided all this?
[Verse 1]
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 freakin' out
God save me
[Chorus]
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 ya
We're not in California anymore
[Verse 2]
The babies all cry as the scientists try
But the politicians keep on screamin'
I'd like a roadmap, like to turn the clock back
But the internet, it keeps on freezin'
Drank up every bottle and I smoked some marijuana
I was hopin' I could find some peace
I looked up at the clouds, the light was peakin' out
I can't believe it
[Chorus]
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 ya
We're not in California anymore
[Bridge]
Visions of the dissonance, I'm searchin' 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 searchin' 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
[Chorus]
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 ya
We're not in California anymore
[Outro]
Not in California anymore
Not in California anymore
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California anymore
