Story behind the song
This song was inspired by a vacation that I took in southern California in 1983. The media in the form of T.V. , movies, and news has created this perception that I have portrayed in the song.
Lyrics
CALIFORNIA VERSE: MORALS COME TO US FROM THE SILVER SCREEN SOMEHOW FAMILY VALUES ARE RARELY SEEN NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITIES LIVE THERE GALORE AND EVERYDAY, THEY BUS IN SOME MORE IS SUBURBIA, THE TWISTED AMERICAN DREAM? OR JUST ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD SCHEME? CHORUS: GOVERNMENT CONTROL IS REALLY NICE. IN CALIFORNIA, A LIBERAL’S PARADISE TAKE AWAY FREEDOM AND NOT THINK TWICE IN CALIFORNIA, A LIBERAL’S PARADISE VERSE: BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS AND GUN GRABBING FOOLS CAN’T KEEP CHILDREN SAFE IN SCHOOLS AGING ACTRESSES DON’T THINK TWICE IN A PLASTIC SURGEON’S PARADISE NEW VEHICLES FOR YOU AND THE WIFE CREDIT CARDS, THE GATEWAY TO THE GOOD LIFE. CHORUS: VERSE: BEING LIBERAL, DIVORCED AND GAY HAS BECOME THE NEW AMERICAN WAY WITH LUST AS A DRIVING FORCE IF THINGS DON’T WORK, GET A DIVORCE FOR THE KIDS, LIFE IS CONFUSION. WHILE BOOZE AND DRUGS FUEL THE ILLUSION CHORUS:

Great lyrics, and it is clear from the song that you feel passionately about the things you write. It was no surprise to find that you are into poetry, the song is a good observation of certain aspects of life.
