California is a money pit
Maybe that's why you're not back to visit
You're spending everything you earn on rent and dates with Internet girls
All the venues here are shutting down
Petty people gotta run this town
And every statement is political, so you burn the whole place down
You thought you'd find it out here, whatever you're looking for
You thought that someone would care
I know it's better than Fenway Park
Drinking Miller with the Patriots
Or hearing all the time to suck it up and act like an adult
'Cause you went from a shitty place in Allston to another shitty place in Hollywood
Fell in love with a pretty girl on Facebook
You say it's all good
Thought that you would launch your music career
But instead, you're getting fat on beer
And play the venues you were playing here, well at least the weather's good
And everybody says, I miss you, man
But they don't really give a fuck, I imagine
'Cause they can see you on the Internet
But I swear I really care
You thought you'd find it out here, whatever you're looking for
You thought that someone would care, you thought that life would hold more
You thought you'd find it out here, whatever you're looking for (a shitty place in Allston)
You thought that someone would care, you thought that life would hold more (a shitty place in Hollywood)
