lyrics

--------------------
To California
--------------------

It's been a long time,
Since I first felt the urge
To sing my mind out
Pull the words outta my heart
And make them sound right,
It's been a long road since the start

We had some hard times,
Disappointment,
In and out,
We had to fight back,
Extending our boundaries,
We had to walk on-stage
And claim our scene...

We'll never give up!

No matter what they know,
No matter what they say,
No matter what we're told,
We'll always stay the same,
For all the dreams we have
Will lead us someday,
There's only one way...

Well yes, we've seen the posers,
We've seen the haters,
We've seen the good turn bad, it's true,
We still do it like we used to,
Well yes, we're taking chances,
We're breaking fences,
We're making our way to the top,
There's nothing that can stop us...

We'll never give up!

No matter what they know,
No matter what they say,
No matter what we're told,
We'll always stay the same,
For all the dreams we have
Will lead us someday,
There's only one way... to California !

I've got a mic in my hand,
I'm in a rock'n'roll band,
We're doing better than the average
When we do it on stage,
We've got the power of distortion,
The groove of the bass,
Machine-gun drums,
Be sure to keep up the pace,
If you're looking for some old-school kickin'
We're ready to spit, so get away now,
Or face the music
We're running out of time, and we're slightly out of tune,
But we're never outta rhymes, and we rock up to the Moon.

No matter what they know,
No matter what they say,
No matter what we're told,
We'll always stay the same,
For all the dreams we have
Will lead us someday,
There's only one way... to California !
