California Dreaming

by Mark Thornton

All the streets are brown
----------------- All the streets are browned out

And the billboards are grey
----------------- And the billboards are grey

I've been for a walkin
----------------- I've been for a walkin

On a power outage day
----------------- On a power outage day

I'd be safe and warm
----------------- I'd be safe and warm

If I wasn’t in L.A.
----------------- If I wasn’t in L.A.

Californians are dreaming
----------------- Californians are dreaming

Of taking your power away

Stopped into a utility

I passed along the way

Well, I got down on my knees
----------------- Got down on my knees

And I pretend to pray
----------------- I pretend to pray

You know the govnor likes the old growth
----------------- govnor likes the old growth

He knows I'm gonna pay
----------------- Knows I'm gonna pay

Californians are dreaming
----------------- Californians are dreaming

Of takin your power away

All the streets are browned out
----------------- All the streets are browned out

And the billboards are grey
----------------- And the billboards are grey

I've been for a walkin
----------------- I've been for a walkin

On a power shortage day
----------------- On a power shortage day

If I didn't tell them
----------------- If I didn't tell them

I could steal some power today
----------------- steal some power today

Californians are dreaming
----------------- Californians are dreaming

Of taking your power away
----------------- Californians are dreaming

Of taking your power away
----------------- Californians are dreaming

Of taking your power away
