Sounds like the band needs a new manager - someone who knows not to stop in Cracktown.

California land of the setting sun
Once the golden land of fun
Mannequins with no hearts and plastic faces
Communist and foreigners have taken all the spaces
The dream of California is dead and done

Oh, I thought Vallejo was a nicer area. Sounds nice anyway. Not like say Oakland town.....or Sac town.

Goin’ back to California
So many good things around
Don’t wanna leave California
The sun seems to never go down

Some people may treat you ugly
Some treat you beautiful too
That’s the way life is all over
So look for the good things for you

The band can do a cover version of ‘Happiness is a Warm Gun’ by The Beatles.
