## Lyrics

[Intro]

This songs called California

Jump, jump, ey, ey, hey, hey!

[Verse 1: *Spoken*]

Got cuts on your eyes

Preachin' to me sayin' you sympathise

Misunderstanding, I am alright

It's you that needs the glasses

Why can't they see?

That I am okay, you take more drugs than me

Chewing your cheek

I can't believe you put me in-

*Let me see your hands*

[Pre-Chorus]

They tried to put me on Ritalin

Visions of calming me down

They tried to put me on Ritalin

Hopin' I don't make a sound

[Chorus]

Maybe I just need to go to California

'Cause I am young, don't wanna die yet, can't afford it

Maybe I just need to go to California

[Post-Chorus: *Spoken*]

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out

*Jump, jump, jump, hey, hey, hey, hey!*

(Blow my brains out!), (Blow my brains out!)

[Verse 2: *Backing track*]

I don't understand

How I can respect you when you're such a twat *(Woo)*

What you shocked at? It's a mat-ter of fact

And usually, I would listen to you

But when my future's involved, I got a responsibility to sit down

And think what I should do

I shout, "Fuck him and fuck her and fuck you too"

[Pre-Chorus: *Backing track*, **Spoken**]

They tried to put me on Ritalin *(Ritalin)*

Visions of calming me down

They tried to put me on Ritalin *(Ritalin)*

Hopin' I don't make a sound *(Brrap, brrap)*

They tried to put me on Ritalin *(Ritalin)*

*Visions of calming me down*

**Atlanta!**

[Chorus]

Maybe I just need to go to California

'Cause I am young, don't wanna die yet, can't afford it

Maybe I just need to go to California

[Post-Chorus: *Backing track*, **Spoken**]

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out

**Let me see them hands up!**

*(Yeah! Blow my brains out!)*

[Bridge]

Rip my heart up

And pull it out of my chest

Rip my heart up

And pull it out of my chest

Rip my heart up

And pull it out of my chest

Rip my heart up!

And pull it out of my chest!

[Outro]

Maybe I just need to go to California

'Cause I am young, don't wanna die yet, can't afford it

Maybe I just need to go to California

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out

Maybe I just need to go to California

'Cause I am young, don't wanna die yet, can't afford it

Maybe I just need to go to California

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out

Swear that when I get old, you'll blow all my brains out!
