They Call Her California

Verse 1:
California's beautiful
She's clothed herself in pretty lies
Disguised herself in idols and gold
But deep down she knows
All that glitters has sold its very soul for an Image
For five minutes of fame
Lust is her game and she plays it well
She'll make you rise in the East
But you'll set in Hell....

Chorus 1:
Everyone wants the lovely California
But she doesn't warn ya
of her Golden state of mind
She'll take you to a place where time stands still
Where you feel so High
not even God can touch you
But the weight of her world will crush you
And bring you to your knees
Aiming to please all the wrong people
Finding your peace through
many a vice
You'll pay the price for her riches

Verse 2:
What you'll get is pure bliss
Candles lit in your name
Statues made in your likeness
And you'll like this
All her attention is on you
Her eyes glued to see what you'll do next
But she expects so much
You cant let her down
She worships the ground you stand on
You finally belong
It's all so enticing
The kiss of Judah so inviting

Bridge:
Her betrayal it stings
She told you of all the things she would give you
Conveniently forgetting to tell you what she'd also take
That she'd also make you as fake as the statues she built in your image
You pretended until you didn't know you were pretending anymore
You ignored all His signs
Blind to her beauty that's now faded
And all that's left is a jaded version of your former self

Repeat Chorus
