We have not allowed ourselves to comprehend what failure might mean for us Is it a comfort or a curse? A knowledge that we could've 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 Yeah, 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 anymore We're not in California anymore Traded all our sunshine in for a storm Don't say I didn't warn you We're not in California anymore The babies all cry as the scientists try But the politicians keep on screaming I'd like a road map, 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 can find some peace I looked up at the clouds, the light was peaking out I can't believe it 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 you We're not in California anymore Visions of the dissonance I'm searching 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 searching 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 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 you We're not in California anymore Not in California anymore Not in California anymore Don't say I didn't warn you We're not in California anymore
