California Songtext
von Spoonboy

California
It′s on the other side of
A landmass on this planet
But it's a destination, and
If you′re tired of
The notion of escape
As a distant thought
That you were stuck in a rut
And you were born to regret, well
All I can say is "get the fuck out," because

I'm not impressed
By the intimidation tactics of
This expansive land of the vaguely unknown
And I'm not impressed


Philadelphia
Is a city on the
Middle-eastern side of
A landmass on this planet that
I′m not too proud of, but
It′s a landmass that I live on, and
Philadelphia's smoggy skyline
Lies above a few good humans who

Who are not impressed
By the blood that goes in a building
That doesn′t belong to the architect, and
I'm not impressed

When they turn their guns to Oakland, I′ll be
Underneath the sea in the
City of Atlantis, and I will
Dare them to come and look for me
For when the protest song is outlawed, then the
Villains of the city's alleys will not
Meet the fate of the sitting targets
Who never even thought to get so far as

California
California
It′s on the other side of
A landmass on this planet
But it's a destination
