California is the place to be But I should warn ya, about the things I’ve seen You don’t fit in, you don’t belong Your so-called friends will all be gone I believe the things we say Keep us deceived, they get in the way We run around, we move too fast And that’s the reason nothing lasts That’s the reason, that’s the reason There can be no mistaking I wanna know why I am so uncertain Behind the curtain, shaken No I don’t wanna go out like this Curse everybody with an angry fist We take for granted what’s in our past And that’s the reason nothing lasts That’s the reason, that’s the reason There can be no mistaking I wanna know why I am so uncertain Behind the curtain, shaken Somebody point it out to me Cause I want one more chance to believe I wanna run, go stare into the sun Watch the bay waves breakin’ The human race awaken I wanna know why I am so uncertain Behind the curtain,
