Red Hot Chili Smashup

Somebody once told me
The world is gonna' roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin' kinda' dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an 'L' on her forehead

Well, the years start comin', and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules, and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold

It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
If you're bundled up now, wait 'till you get older
But the media man begs to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
The water's getting warm, so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
That's the way I like it 'cause I'll never get bored

Dream of Californication
Oh, dream of Californication
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold

Can't stop, addicted to the shindig
Chop top, he says I'm gonna' win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation

Defunct the pistol that you paid for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
East Side lovers livin' on the West End

Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
