Look at all the palm trees
Softly swayin' in the warm breeze
No one
Would ever believe it'd be
Rough
My bank account's empty
I'm livin' on the street
Life in the city
Is one big
Bust
That's the California pain
I know it looks a little strange
You dream of fortune
You want fame
The price is California pain
There's sand under my feet
It's getting hard to breathe
Without the sun
This place would
Suck
And it still kinda does ladies and gentlemen
That's the California pain
I know it looks a little strange
You dream of fortune
You want fame
The price is California pain
California pain
I know it looks a little strange
You dream of fortune
You want fame
The price is California pain
