Lyrics

I'm afraid of my shadow, radioactive oceans

And rainbows that swirl in the tide

But I'm not afraid to speak of the darkness

For it must be brought to light

I'm afraid of beginnings, the things yet to happen

Afraid of the great divide

But I'm not afraid to speak of the darkness

For it has been brought to light

Well, I see another world

Where we eat flowers for dinner

And we drink the water from the spring

California, don't throw yourself to the sea

For you were never unwanted

And our beautiful country, conceived by our fathers

And God we can no longer trust

Defending the values of an old republic

A crisis of consciousness

Robber barons and plunderers who take no prisoners

The jest is now upon us

We bow our heads, by fools we are led

Apathy is consequence

But I see another world

Where our words we will honor

And we drink the water from the spring

Knowing our hearts want the same thing

Power is for the hungry

Whose nobility we would sanction

And it's a reign of terror taking over

May it come to rest in peace

And playing a game of follow the leader

Back and forth between the extremes

And now the lions will stalk us

And there will be bad blood

Where the endangered meet the sleeping

In a predator-less world

We are the hunted slowly awakening

Well, I see another world

Where we invite the enemy for dinner

And we learn to draw new boundaries

Exploring new territories

California, don't throw yourself to the sea

You were part of a bigger picture

So heaven help us

Not a passive devil's promise

Inspire us as we mourn

For the angels cannot do our work for us

Nor mend the fabric that is torn

Now we're back to making livings

Raising children in pollution

Who are allergic to the sun

And preaching to converted on empty street corners

For they know not what they've done

Well, I see another world

Where we would march together

Our voices ringing in the street

The stars and stripes of unity

California, don't throw yourself to the sea

For the ballot was cast in your favor

And now the cats' silent songbirds

And the birds that sing at night

Are being hunted by the ones they protect

And the ones they protect are being hunted by the ones they fight

Well, I see another world

Where we would march together

Our voices ringing in the street

The stars and stripes of unity

California, don't throw yourself to the sea

For the ballot was cast in your favor

And now the cats' silent songbirds

And pigs eat the last curd

As we tend our creatures with hooves

And who will become beasts of the wood?

Where, oh, where are the last of the wolves?

As we honor the elders

Animal spirits and masters

By filling pipelines with sand

And diverting our wells with their tears of mourning

This land is not your land

Well, I see another world

Where only animals kill one another

And we drink the water from the spring

Forgiving ourselves and our history

And guilt is but a poor man's apology

And you are never forgotten

And our grain so inspired

Given to us by Gaia

Now hath been tampered in seed

And the fields that are doused and drowned in poison

We consume so helplessly

And the coal miners' daughters

Who don't see a future

Would bring their ponies to the light

And I'm not afraid to speak of the darkness

For there is no wrong or right

But I see another world

We honor the gifts of our mother

Those colorful quilts and energies

Knowing there's a silver lining

California, don't throw yourself to the sea

You will always be loving

And now the artists would suffer

While they sing for their supper

Traveling down a pirate stream

And taking us back to the dark ages

The highest bid a farthing

I'm afraid of perversion

And damning of the feminine

And mining treasures of white

But I'm not afraid to speak of the darkness

For it has been brought to light

Well, I see another world

Where we eat flowers for dinner

And we drink the water from the spring

Elevating our hearts and our bodies

California, don't throw yourself to the sea

You will never be unwanted
