I hate California    There's something out there I just don't get    I know your friends out there must think I'm pretty strange    Because I dress as if the weather's gonna change    But it never does    I hate California       I hate California    The sun goes down the wrong side    Something in the water, maybe something in the sand    Maybe some west coast thing I'll never understand    Maybe just because    I hate California       I don't blame the Beach Boys    I don't blame Hollywood    I don't blame L.A.    Although I probably should    I don't blame the sky for its careless shade of blue    Lord knows I don't blame you    Lord knows I don't blame you       I hate California    One more beach day come and gone    And by the time you've finished gazing at the sea    3,000 miles away there's nothing left for me    If there ever was    I hate California       I don't blame the Beach Boys    I don't blame Hollywood    I don't blame L.A.    Although I probably should    I don't blame the sky for its careless shade of blue    Lord knows I don't blame you    Lord knows I don't blame you    Lord knows    I hate California
