hear california

© 2024 Charly Humbolt

(intro)
we know how to spoke
proud of woke
dope hope, no joke

california
we dope, we hope
and we are woke
_____________________________________________________
ooh ooh
ooh ooh ahhh
_____________________________________________________

from the birds to the ghettos and barrios, from the hills and the palatial estates, to the good neighbors but for their yakky dogs in all parts of the global shake

friends we all become, friends we all become after the war … war war
but why not before?
and who will be our next enemy?
our new friends if any remain?

enemies can be friends, oh
enemies can be friends

common bond, common bond is a strange proportion
no one, enemy and friends can walk for fear someone, somewhere someone
(one one one) somewhere, somewhere gonna drop the big one (gonna drop the big one)
gone, our worries are gone
one of the lucky ones, if you're one of the lucky ones, slow. 

(ooh ooh)

slow, curdling
gone astray, gone astray, gone astray,
gone astray

hear california, hear california

we hope
we are woke
up and woke
(falsetto ahhh)

We dope got hope and are woke, we know how to spoke proud

dope hope no joke

california we dope we hope and we are woke

hear hear california (california)
we dope
california,

(falsetto) ahhh

from the burbs to the ghettos and barrios,
from the hills and palatial estates
to the good neighbor, friends we all become after the war - but why not before?

and who will be our next enemy?
our new friends if any remain

enemies can be friends, oh.
enemies can be friends.
enemies can be friends

a common bond, common bond, is a strange proportion
riding the line, no one, enemy, or friend
walk that line, for fear someone, one one one (somewhere)
gonna drop the big one, then our worries are gone.
gone, if you're one of the lucky ones
one of the lucky ones

slow curdling
oh, curdling

gone astray
gone astray
gone astray
gone astray
we’ve gone astray
gone astray 
gone astray

we hope, we hope
we know how to spoke
proud of woke
hope, no joke
no joke

we dope, we hope
and we are woke we hope
and we are woke

hear, california
hear, here in california.
we dope, we hope.
hear, california
woke, yes, we dope, got hope
we know how to spoke
proud of woke

hope hope, no joke

hear, california

we dope

from the burbs, to the ghettos and barrios,
to the hills of the palatial estates

we dope we hope

and we are woke

from the burbs, to the ghettos and barrios, to the hills of the palatial estates

hear (hear) california

hear california

friends we all become, after the war 

but why not (hear) before (california)

and who will be our next enemy?

our new friends, if any remain

enemies can be friends

enemies can be friends

hear, california
hear, california

if you're one of the lucky ones

enemies can be friends

if you're one of the lucky ones

slow, slow, slow

we know how to spoke, proud of woke

dope, hope, no joke

hear california

we doubt, we hope

and we are woke

california

we dope we hope
and we are woke
