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
