I can hear them
Speakin' in the next room
As they drink and start losin' control and get louder
They lose control and get louderThey wonder about me
I can hear her twirling the ice with her fingers
She's got that half-dead look in her eyes by now
She worries about meHe's not like the
The other boys around here
He's says nothing and sits in his room
And he's afraid toAnd he's afraid to drive a car
So sad he is
And he's afraid to drive a car
So sad he isIt's our duty as we're respected
It's our duty as Californians
To show a new life
To show a new lifeEver since my staying I
I've been having bad dreams
So stop eating cabbage
And stop talking to that girlWhat are the winters like here?
Hush up and play the piano
But have I told you how I love her?
Yes, but you are Aquarius and she is CapricornCome come now
And meet your cousins from L.A.
Shut up and leave me aloneWe know who you are
I read your palm while you were sleeping
And I read though your diary
And the secrets you've been keeping
We're already aware ofAnd I pretended [Incomprehensible]
Have a drink and talk this over
And in the meantime, please
Think of the good things that we've done for youIt's our duty and we're expected
It's our duty as Californians
To show a new life
To show a new lifeIt's our duty and we're expected
It's our duty as Californians
To show a new life
To show a new life
