Pulled over side o’ road in buttfuck Cakalaka The racist cop says “You a nigga, You a cracka” Spitting ignorance like wads o’ spent tabacka No, you ain’t no small town girl, no no
You loaded up your funky Caddy El Dorado Sold your ass for gas in Boulder, Colorado Traded in your Lees for Gucci and Movado You an L.A. woman now, yeah yeah yeah
And if your town done got you down then turn it around Let your soul lift off the ground
Hell yeah I stole the chorus from Anthony Kiedis
The Peppers say “We’ll always be there if you need us” Funky skankin’ with our stockings on our peters and I’m Sir Psycho Sexy, yeah
From Brian Wilson and the Sixties benediction
To Perry Farrell rocking out with Jane’s Addiction
Add Santeria by Sublime you get the picture man you know Fishbone is red hot, come on!
And if your town done got you down then turn it around Let your soul lift off the ground
Well stop your crying baby girl don’t play the victim
The flowers dying in your bottle ‘cause you picked ‘em
The playground bully pushed you down you shoulda kicked him In the nuts, baby let’s see some guts, come on!
But let it go for now welcome to California
Strip off your drama in the sun and let it warm ya Layin’ in the sand your head upon my shoulder And we’ll never be younger than we are right now
And if your town done got you down then turn it around Let your soul lift off the ground
You say they got you trapped but baby I doubt it There’s one thing that you need to figure out Exactly what you gonna do about it
Don’t let them motherfuckers bring you down
