California lyrics

Now kids I gotta warn ya
'cause I've been to california
Where they've got a new religion
And they'd love for you to give in
Well I'm here to say that we'll seize the day
We're still here to stay
We'll never fade away
Well I don't wanna bore ya
But I've been to california
Where everybody's reachin'
For somethin' to believe in
Waiting for the day that we'll rise away
Still here to stay
We'll never fade away
So say I didn't warn ya
'bout southern california
Where they got a new affliction
And it hangs like an addiction
I've been to california¡­
