Song Lyrics

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
