West Coast

Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets

Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets

Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets

Me, I'm from a different type of left land, old wild west land

Nose bleeds, palm trees and tumbleweeds rustling

Outside they say it's happy here but it's depressin'

Too many pretty faces catchin' my attention

So I look at 'em, remind myself in this smudged glass

That pretty isn't everything, you punkass

Always hard to see past the surface when it looks so perfect

But her eyes will disguise dirt on purpose, you listening?

I grew up here, under the sun

In grade school, I was the odd one out of the bunch

And I don't mean I was the kid to eat bugs for lunch

I was the one who wasn't comin' from where they're comin' from, uh

I speak poetically and never pride my ignorance

But this California shit is rigorous

They say it's happy here, happiness is figurative

I'm happy 'cause of me, doesn't matter where I'm livin'

If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith

If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm waking up underneath sheets, naked, still sweating

Slept in late so everybody else is ready

My friend called up, he said, "Hurry up, buddy, it's almost sundown already"

So I hopped up, I went and washed up

I ate some pasta then I gave my mom hugs

And then I thought, uh

It's gonna be a pretty nice night

(But pretty isn't everything, right?)

Golden state mind, I'm taking my time

Plain white shirt and a skinny black tie

My top let down when I get picked up, PCH, so California

Maybe they were right, happiness is a warm gun

But before you shoot, please, warn us

Life is too fun, California, will you marry me?

Let God be the sun and in the ocean they shall bury me

If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith

If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame

It's a goddamn shame
