Not In California
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?
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
We're, the heroin, it made us hazy
I looked up at the clouds as I was freaking out
God save me
We're not in California any more
We're not in California any more
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
The babies all cry as the scientists try
But the politicians keep on screaming
I'd like a roadmap, like to turn the clock back
But the internet, it keeps on freezing
Drink up every bottle, and I smoke some marijuana
I was hoping I could find some peace
I looked up at the clouds, the light was peaking out
I can't believe it
We're not in California any more
We're not in California any more
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
Visions of the distant and some searching for the synonyms
But all that I can say is that I think I lost my innocence
And I bet if I asked everybody that I know
They'd wanna be a kid again
Visions of the distant and some searching for the synonyms
But all that I can say is that I think I lost my innocence
And I bet if I asked everybody that I know
They'd wanna be a kid again
So they could do it different
We're not in California any more
We're not in California any more
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
Not in California any more
Not in California any more
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
What failure might mean for us
Is it a comfort or a curse
The knowledge that we could have avoided all this?
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
We're, the heroin, it made us hazy
I looked up at the clouds as I was freaking out
God save me
We're not in California any more
We're not in California any more
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
The babies all cry as the scientists try
But the politicians keep on screaming
I'd like a roadmap, like to turn the clock back
But the internet, it keeps on freezing
Drink up every bottle, and I smoke some marijuana
I was hoping I could find some peace
I looked up at the clouds, the light was peaking out
I can't believe it
We're not in California any more
We're not in California any more
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
Visions of the distant and some searching for the synonyms
But all that I can say is that I think I lost my innocence
And I bet if I asked everybody that I know

We're not in California any more
We're not in California any more
Traded all our sunshine in for a storm
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
Not in California any more
Not in California any more
Don't say I didn't warn ya
We're not in California any more
