I found, it's safe underground
Where, no one can hear or see me
Not allowed, to break from the crowd
I slip by so easily

CHORUS:
Can't complain, 'cause mama tried to warn ya
'Bout that scene, out in California
It's an illusion, they always told ya
Ya better never go to California, girl

Walking, talking, breathing
Light on her feet
She's not so easy to meet
Are ya scared?
A little Hollywood hottie
Rocking Rodeo Drive
She's murderous with her purse
And her channel stare

CHORUS:
Can't complain, 'cause mama tried to warn ya
'Bout that scene, out in California
It's an illusion, they always told ya
Ya better never go to California, girl

I know you know that you know
That you needed out on your own
I know you know that you know
That you needed away from your home
You don't care where you go, no

CHORUS:
Can't complain, 'cause mama tried to warn ya
'Bout that scene, out in California
It's an illusion, they always told ya
Ya better never go to California, girl

Ya better never go to California, girl
Ya better never go to California, girl
Ya better never go to California, girl
