california rain, soak me to the bone
when you’re flooding the drain, you remind me of home
california rain, such a beautiful sound
still it’s not the same, but it’s the thought that counts

and it comes pouring down all at once
racing toward the ground just to rise back up
trying to wash out this rat-wheel air
but people run around in a mindless fear
and say, “thank god it only happens twice a year.”

california rain, how does it feel to exist
as a poster for pain and cognitive dissonance?
california rain, i know we all need our niche
but could you get out of my way? i’ve got a blindfold to st-tch

and it’s a brilliant plan to convince ourselves
that we don’t wave a flag for anyone else
eating from the hand of what we buy and sell
old uncle sam don’t share the wealth
we say, “that’s how it is; smile big,” while the ice all melts
it’s who you are, don’t try to be someone else

flash of light and frozen time, in our finest masks
we’re not as splendid as we seem, but no one asks
the rain is coming down again, but everyone’s prepared
with umbrellas out and expensive coats, we can rest -ssured
that it won’t be very long ’till we forget it’s there
and it won’t sink in or touch our skin, there’ll be no cleansing here
no we don’t have to be scared at all

and it comes pouring down all at once
racing toward the ground just to rise back up
trying to wash out this monotonous air
the middle of a drought but we cover our hair

and it’s a brilliant plan to convince ourselves
that we don’t give a d-mn for anyone else
eating from the hand of what we buy and sell
drunk in the promised land, don’t share the wealth
(we just blew it all to h-ll)

smile big, smile big, in your finest masks
he’s not as hungry as he tries to look, but no one asks
