Another Type of Californication

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind’s elation In time for the big election of the king of civilization Why’d I have to win, I wanted retirement and a vacation Well, time to go to Hollywood for an infinite adjuration Give someone else the job ‘cause tomorrow there’ll be complications Or give me the scepter anyway, it’s the rule of the automations Pay the media well and they’ll see no psycho aging The iron fist of freedom, interplanetary war-waging Mothers will mourn For their first-born Dream of Californication… Dream of Californication… The public will look at me and they’ll see but pure adoration Until the press drones break free and start publishing accusations Then a trial with hanging jury and defamation The strikers will face more than one silly altercation While I find a spoon, dig out of jail, and set up a universe-nation To replace the one destroyed, Hollywood’s Californication Pay the media well and they’ll see no psycho aging Extolling on your greatness and the love the world is craving Mothers will mourn For their first-born Dream of Californication… Dream of Californication…
