New California

[Verse 1]

What is this place? What has it become?

The kids are fuckin' stupid, the adults are dumb

My fingertips are shaking, but I'm holdin' the gun

Right beside my temple 'cause I wanna have fun

[Refrain]

And the fear is all we know

(Wanna talk about it?) No

When the fear is all we know

Where do we go?

[Chorus]

Welcome to New California

Yeah, Paradise has lost her way

You'll die inside New California

It's all brand-new, nothing's changed

[Verse 2]

The stars are all here, but they can't be seen

They die beside the fentanyl and amphetamines

I wanna write a novel, but my fingers are numb

We're all a bunch of losers, but at least we have fun

[Refrain]

And the fear is all we know

And we've got nowhere left to go

When the fear is all we know

How do we grow?

[Bridge]

Bobby was a wreck and he was trackin' on some breakfast

He went out to get some eggs and forgot his fuckin' gold necklace

Now he's rockin' by the beaches and he's layin' under piers

But he doesn't understand that everybody disappears

'Cause the beach is made of blood and you can see it in the sand

And everybody thinks Los Angeles is golden and it's grand

The truth is in the water, you can taste it if you drink it

Now his ship is setting sail, but he's gonna fucking sink it

[Chorus]

Welcome to New California

Yeah, Paradise has lost her way

You'll die inside New California

It's all brand-new, nothing's changed

[Outro]

What is this place? What has it become?

What is this place? What has it become?

What is this place? What has it become?

What is this place? What has it be—
