California saved your life 

Stated the policy in black and white 

You cornered off your facetious sides 

And they left their heads on foreign soil 



California saved your life 

Proclaimed the modern-day jeremiad 

Timbre changed in the manuscript 

As it pleaded, pale, with you not to... 



Broadcast the lie 

Faded and white 

Promised to say 

Only to say 

What you see 



California saved your life 

But that was only at illness's height 

A documentary proof that you cannot 

Bleed in public is enclosed 



And there's a modern day skid row 

Coming over your bistro 

No-o-oh 



And there's a modern day skid row 

Coming over your bistro 

No-oh 



Castrate the falling of mind (?) 

Mis-sold your head one more time (?) 

See the six-shooter to stay 

Cost-cutting plans underway 



You can't describe the guns today 

They left their homes to fly away 

Attention slipped, a curious flight 

Among the ruins of the child 



California saved your life 

But that was only at illness's height 

A red pulse on the smallest child 

As he blasted over the roof 



And there's a modern day skid row 

Coming over your bistro 

No-o-oh 



And there's a modern day skid row 

Coming over your bistro 

No-oh
