Californication
The Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

Psychic spies from China Try to steal your mind's elation
Chinese intelligence operatives try to take away your peace of mind

And little girls from Sweden Dreams of silver screen quotation And if you want these kind of dreams It's Californication
Young women from Scandinavia dream of Hollywood, which can only be found in California

It's the edge of the world And all of western civilization The sun may rise in the East At least it settles in the final location It's understood that Hollywood Sells Californication
Hollywood sells the idea that California is the center of the world and the epitome of Western civilization

Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Celebrity skin is this your chin Or is that war your waging
Famous people spend a lot of money to look young, but it's not always clear what part of their body is real or fake

First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication
The desire for fame and fortune through Hollywood is everyone's dream

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world Be my very own constellation A teenage bride with a baby inside Getting high on information And buy me a star on the boulevard It's Californication
The idea of becoming a Hollywood star is so great that someone is willing to marry an underage girl to achieve it, and even to buy a star on Hollywood Boulevard to commemorate the occasion

Space may be the final frontier But it's made in a Hollywood basement Cobain can you hear the spheres Singing songs off station to station And Alderaan's not far away It's Californication
The notion of anything can happen is promoted through Hollywood, including space adventures like Star Wars, but it is all ultimately created in Hollywood

Born and raised by those who praise Control of population everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation
Californians are used to being controlled and their population managed, and it's a way of life that everyone living there has experienced firsthand

Destruction leads to a very rough road But it also breeds creation And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar They're just another good vibration And tidal waves couldn't save the world From Californication
Even though destruction can be difficult, it can also be a catalyst for creativity. Earthquakes, although terrifying, are just another part of California and can even inspire music. Even the most catastrophic events, such as a tidal wave, will not change the idea that California is the center of the world

Pay your surgeon very well To break the spell of aging Sicker than the rest There is no test But this is what you're craving
People crave the idea of being forever young and will pay a lot for it, even if it makes them more unwell than healthy. There's no way to know if it works, but the desire is unrelenting

First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Dream of Californication
The desire to be a Hollywood star and achieve fame and fortune through the city of dreams is widespread and all-consuming
