California, here we go! |
|
|
Home for the Strange
(To the tune of Home on the Range)
Oh, give me a home
where illegal aliens don’t roam
and the hot babes and hot rods all play
Where seldom is heard
a dumb rapper’s words
and your eyes are not cloudy all day
Home, home for the strange,
that’s what old Cal has become
where TV's full of queers
and we cry in our beers
recalling old California days.
Oh, give me a land
where the music is grand
and singers can really sing songs
and the big movie stars
don’t sniff coke in their cars
and fat chicks don’t get to wear thongs
Home, home for the strange
the state's in a state of despair
where gang bangers bang
and life don’t mean a thang
and you can’t get here from there
We’ve got the ACLU
always ordering you
how to think, to behave and to vote
and our legislators bore
everyone to a snore
while screwing up life by rote.
Home, home for the strange
Shoot quick while they’re still in range
Can’t afford a house,
your broker’s a louse
and the leeches steal all your loose change.
To try and change your fate
you move out of state
hoping people are nicer over there.
But to your surprise
you’re wrong in your surmise
Hell, life is just so damned unfair
