We are starting new revolution
The time has come for a resolution
This is a consciousness evolution
Bringing an end to The Grand Illusion
The sky isn’t falling
The sky isn’t falling
We’ve lost our faith in the institution
They’ve fallen under a dark corruption
They use a rhetoric of fear and confusion
We need to open the doors of perception
The sky isn’t falling
The sky isn’t falling

Lights are glowing brighter
and the music’s getting low
Everyone is prodded
Just like cattle through the door
Summoning a taxi
No one’s driving that’s for sure
Some are off to slumber
While others pine for more
I want more
Let’s get down, underneath The Overpass
After hours, where the party was meant to last
Dancing while we watch the sun come up
Taking all the drugs, drinking all the wine
Crossing over every line
Lets get weird, lets get high
Lift this place right up off the ground
I’m not tired, I’m gonna be
The last man standing
Eccentrics are assembled here
From all across the city
but you are all I notice here
and everyone is pretty
you started up a fire
that can melt the ice in me
if I don’t take you home tonight
girl that would be a pity
Let’s get down, underneath the overpass
After hours, where the party was meant to last
Dancing while we watch the sun come up
taking all the drugs, drinking all the wine
crossing over every line
Lets get weird, lets get high
Lift this place right up off the ground
I’m not tired, I’m gonna be
The last man standing

I can’t forget
The intoxicating scent
Of Eucalyptus leaves
Wafting in the breeze
I can’t forget
The raising of the rent
trading out Sabella’s
For an Applebee’s
Now for a while
You’ve lost your style
Where did it go
You don’t believe
I'm gonna leave
I'm out the door
I still recall
Romona finally booked us
At the Bottom of the Hill
On a Monday night
Jazz cigarettes
And powdering our noses
In the back seat of the van
Before we loaded in
Now for a while
You’ve lost your style
Where did it go
You don’t believe
I'm gonna leave
I'm out the door
I still love you, San Francisco
I still love you, San Francisco
Though now I am an Angeleno
I still love you
Jack Kerouac
Drinking Fernet
With all the other hispsters
At Visuvio
Now in the Haight
Try to find an artist
Who doesn’t get their funding
From rich relatives
Now for a while
You’ve lost your style
Where did it go
You don’t believe
I'm gonna leave
I'm out the door
I still love you, San Francisco
I still love you, San Francisco
Though now I am an Angeleno
I still love you

Chicano kid from Alta California
I'm a native son
Abuelito and his one true love
they made a fortunate run
they’re chasing freedom and prosperity
the same as anyone
and all they wanted was a better life
salvation
If you build a wall
We’re gonna tear it down
Brick by brick
I pledge allegiance to the stripes and stars
But there’s no loyalty to me
And all the people that believe the lie
This is the land of the free
tell me why, would I strive
for this broken dream
pledge my devotion
to this fallacy
If you build a wall
We’re gonna tear it down
Brick by brick
If you build a wall
We’re gonna tear it down
Watch it fall
If you build a wall
We’re gonna tear it down
Brick by brick
If you build a wall
We’re gonna tear it down
watch it fall
If you build a wall
We’re gonna tear it down
after all

You are a girl with and abundance of soul
That’s why I never want to let you go
cause if I did that’d make me stupid as fuck
And I am obviously spangled with luck
I put my lips upon your cinnamon skin
They took me right out of the funk I was in
your eyes are like an all consuming fire
burning as hot as my molten desire
there’s no one like you baby
no one in the world
every time I see you
I can’t believe you’re my girl
My one and only girl
there’s no one like you baby
no one in the world
every time I see you
I can’t believe you’re my girl
My one and only girl
When I wake up and you’re lying beside
it’s like the energy when planets collide
and when I say that I just mean it’s a lot
it goes without saying, that I think that you’re hot
you know I like it when you’re all dressed up
it makes me pray to god we never break up
im working hard to be a better man
then it won’t seem so audacious when I ask for your hand
there’s no one like you baby
no one in the world
every time I see you
I can’t believe you’re my girl
My one and only girl
there’s no one like you baby
no one in the world
every time I see you
I can’t believe you’re my girl
My one and only girl

How about we start this over
Take the numbers down off the board
There’s no other way to get this right
until you and I settle the score
Come on over here and look in me in eye
See the tears welling up inside
Me and you are really exactly the same
looking at each other to blame for everything
you and I have lost our way,
looking out for number one
let’s resolve and move along
say it together
we both were wrong
we came here from the same block
bought our lemonheads from the same damn shop
got ourselves a habit out back behind the school
smoking all your grandma’s Kools
Somehow we got twisted
The truth came by, and we missed it
Face to face, eye to eye,
both of us falling on the same damn knife
Why do we do this to each other?
Why can’t we love each other?
You and I have lost our way
Looking out for Number one
Lets resolve and move along
Say it together

you were saying all you need is love
but what does that even mean
left at home with the TV on,
dinner’s in the microwave oven
a steady diet of Ritalin
crack cocaine in a pill
selling bombs to the enemy
your karma’s trickling down
your reign is over now
your reign is over now
you gave us game show politicians
Who’ve cremated their cares
All I wanted was an education
Now im forever in debt
A change is coming like a thief in the night
While you’re asleep at the wheel
If I could I’d make it happen tonight
I’ve had enough of your world
your reign is over now
your reign is over now

dry your eyes and calm your fears
everything is not as dire as it may appear
I still have you, and you have me
We can change the world and leave our legacy
It’s just you and me baby
until the world stops spinning
we’re clutching hands through the crazy
until the stars start to fall
and sun doesn’t shine at all
I can’t tell you there’s nothing wrong
And I'm not claiming to be a soothsayer of song
You are all that matters to me
Even if this all ends up in tragedy
It’s just you and me baby
until the world stops spinning
we’re clutching hands through the crazy
until the stars start to fall
and sun doesn’t shine at all
