I Hate California

I hate California

There's something out there I just don't get

I know your friends out there must think I'm pretty strange

Because I dress as if the weather's gonna change

But it never does

I hate California

I hate California

The sun goes down the wrong side

Something in the water, maybe something in the sand

Maybe some West Coast thing I'll never understand

Maybe just because

I hate California

I don't blame the Beach Boys, I don't blame Hollywood

I don't blame L.A., although I probably should

I don't blame the sky for its careless shade of blue

Lord knows I don't blame you

Lord knows I don't blame you

I hate California

One more beach day come and gone

And by the time you've finished gazing at the sea

3,000 miles away there's nothing left for me

If there ever was

I hate California

I don't blame the Beach Boys, I don't blame Hollywood

I don't blame L.A., although I probably should

I don't blame the sky for its careless shade of blue

Lord knows I don't blame you

Lord knows I don't blame you

Lord knows

I hate California

I hate California

I hate California

I hate California
