It Never Rains In Southern Claifornia lyrics
My father is a doctor, he's a familiary man, My mother works for charity
whenever she can, They're both good clean Americans who abide by the
law, They both stick up for liberty, they both support the law, My
happiness was paid for when they laid their money down, For Summers in a
Summer camp, and Winters in the town, My future in the system was talked
about and planned, But I gave it up for music and the free electric
band...
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly oiled
hair, The school was big and newly built and filled with light and
air, And the teache taught his values that we had to learn to keep, And
he clipped the ear of many idle kid who went to sleep, My father organized
for me a college in the East, But I went to California, the sun-shine and
the beach, My parents and my lecturers could never understand, Why I gave
it up for music and the free electric band...
Well, they used to sit and
speculate upon their son's career, A lawyer or a doctor or a civil
engingeer, Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand, 'cause
all I need is music and the free electric band...
My father sent me
money and I spent it very fast, On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social
science class, Yes, and we learned about her body, but her mind we didn't
know, Until the brutal attitudes and morals began to show, She wanted to
get married, even thopugh she never said, But I knew her well enough by now
to see inside her head, She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of
land, So I gave her up for music and the free electric band...
