lyrics

I'll never get to go to California
I'll never get to see the beach boys live.
I'll never smoke a joint in San Fransico cause the golden state's on fire.

I'll never get to go to California.
And see the place where all of this began.
The psychadelic renessaince has tripped itself into a dump
The government are probably to blame.

I'll never get to go to California
I've always wanted to but now I can't.
The empire is falling, where is super and batman when you need them?

I'll never get to go to California
And see the cool kids hanging by the bay.
Joe Rogan's moved to Texas.
Ben Shapiro's gone to Nashville.
Only the poor people can afford to stay.

I'll never get to go to California
And surf upon those waves and stay afloat
If current trends continue Arizona will be the pacific coast.

I'll never get to go to California
The liberals have become communists.
They are not what they say they are, under those California stars.
They have become what they were once against.

I'll never get to go to California
The state's seen better days and so have I.
There was a time when times they were a changin' but now all we do is whine.

I'll never get to to go California.
besides I probably can't afford the flight.
If things boil down I'll take a ship then walk across the bible belt.
To see if it lives up to all the hype.
