We Don't Need Another Song About California

[Intro] Give up or give it a shot Dedication, to the places that you never need to hide Occupations, the opportunity to see yourself in a light [Verse 1] And all the city fires And the tabloid lies And the television guys For the missions and the boulevards And the way it is when money's all you got [Pre-Chorus] Stop and stare At the accidents and stars that bore you We don’t dare to sing another song for California [Chorus] Well, anywhere Where the city lights are hopeless for you We don’t care or need another song for California [Verse 2] Shut up and give me a shot On vacation, to the places that you never want to die On the station, everybody hears but no one needs to try On the telephone, on the methane dare Every minute that you scream [Bridge] Before the errant scars and the dying stars Every second that you take to fake your life [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
