Post-prime with nowhere left to go
On a sunday afternoon
Soulless loucher speculators
Swarming in platoons

Babblin' on in babylon
Will only leave you hangin' on

California shakedown

Dreams rippin' at the seams
Morale is very low
Backdrop's meltin' in the sun
Ash rains down on everyone

Babblin' on in babylon
Will only leave you hangin' on

California shakedown
California shakedown

Your voice isn't more than white noise
