California English - Live from Bonnaroo 2014

Lyrics

Wouldn't ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love
 Never really heard you speak that way, it's unworthy of
 Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt
 Funny how the other private schools had no Hapa Club
 Someone took a trip before you came to ski in the Alps
 Your father moved across the country just to sunburn his scalp
 Contra Costa, Contra Mundum, contradict what I say
 Living like the French Connection, but we'll die in L.A
 Blasted from a disconnected light switch
 Through the condo that they'll never finish
 Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
 And through your brain to California English
 ♪
 No one sits inside a freezing flat and stays there 'til May
 Leafing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK
 Waiting with the wind against your face and gel in your hair
 Shivering in little undershirts, but don't seem to care
 Blasted from a disconnected light switch
 Through the condo that they'll never finish
 Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish (whoa-oh-oh)
 And through your brain to California English
 Sweet carob rice cake, she don't care how the sweets taste
 Fake Philly cheese steak, but she uses real toothpaste
 'Cause if that Tom's don't work, if it just makes you worse
 Would you lose all of your faith in the good Earth?
 And if it's all a curse, and we're just getting worse
 Baby, please don't lose your faith in the good earth
 ♪
 Blasted from a disconnected light switch
 Through the condo that they'll never finish
 Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
 And through your brain to California English
 Blasted from a disconnected light switch
 Through the condo that they'll never finish
 Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
 And through your brain to California English
