They Hate Us for Our Sunshine

aaaaaaaaahaters

Seems like every time I look at
Some Eastern magazine
Another California-Hater’s
Blowing smoke out of his spleen

They hate us for our happy
They hate our smiling gleam
All those people pissing
On our California Dream

Cheering drought and earthquake
Feeding on their scorn
California-Haters
Watch the news like porn

Huddled by their heaters
I can almost hear them scream
All those people pissing
On our California Dream

Baited by our beaches
Folks come from all around
Y’all stop by; you’re sure to find
Someone from your hometown

They hate us for our sunshine
They hate our happenin scene
All those people pissing
On our California Dream
