Iration - California Dreams Lyrics

I quit my job today
Texted my boss, she just said k
Packed up my car and I headed to LA
Wish it didn't sound so cliche
Answered an ad and joined a band
None of us could play but we still jammed
We finally booked a show
Invited everyone we know and we made
Eleven dollars in an envelope

California Dreams
Be anything that you want to be
Nothing's for free
Sell your soul for your rent money
Everybody's high
Golden state of mind

Got a song on the radio
It's pretty cool, but I'm still broke
My mother said she's proud of me, can't wait to see the show
Dad still thinks that I'm a joke

California Dreams
Be anything that you want to be
Nothing's for free
Pay your dues and your parking fees
Everything is fine
Golden state of mind

Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
California Dreams
Whoa oh oh oh

Oh man it's been a week
Sold out show at the greek
I can't stop thinking bout when I saw Dad out in the crowd
And He was singing every word back to me

California Dreams
Be anything that you want to be
Get what you need
Just don't forget your family
Everything is fine
Golden state of mind yea

California Dreams
Ain't always what they seem to be
Nothing comes easy
Hold on to your sanity
Everybody's high
Golden state of mind

Everything is fine
Golden state of mind
Everything is fine
Golden state of mind
