american dream

Wake up with somebody near you
 And at someone else's place
 You took acid and looked in the mirror
 Watched the beard crawl around on your face
 Oh, the revolution was here
 That would set you free from those bourgeoisie
 In the morning everything's clearer
 When the sunlight exposes your age
 But that's okay
 And that's okay
 Grab your clothes and head to the doorway
 If you dance out, no one complains
 Find the place where you can be boring
 Where you won't need to explain
 That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead
 Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on
 You just suck at self-preservation
 Versus someone else's pain
 So you feel drained
 And insane
 And insane
 He was leather and you were screaming
 Swinging chains against the stage
 And you couldn't know he was leaving
 But now more will go with age, you know
 So get up and stop your complaining
 You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun
 Look what happened when you were dreaming
 Then punch yourself in the face
 So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling
 That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting
 So you never even asked for names
 You just look right through them as if you already came
 It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking
 'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh
 And you can't remember the meaning
 But there's no going back against this California feeling
