The Lyrics

About how Gov. Brown has just about destroyed the beautiful, great state of California
Gov-nor Jerry Brown (Gov-nor Jerry Brown)
He ignites the flame (he ignites the flame)
Kate outlined in chalk (Kate outlined in chalk)
And her killer skates (and her killer skates)
Crooks are safe and warm (crooks are safe and warm)
Know it's the law today (it's the law today)
California's sinkin' (California's sinkin')
Not much is left to save

Cops are in the lurch, outcast along the way
Players get down on one knee (get down on one knee)
And then pretend to pray (then pretend to pray)
You know illegals are paroled (illegals are paroled)
You know they're gonna stay (know they're gonna stay)
California's sinkin' (California's sinkin')
Not much is left to save

Gov-nor Jerry Brown (Gov-nor Jerry Brown)
He ignites the flame (he ignites the flame)
Kate outlined in chalk (Kate outlined in chalk)
And her killer skates (and her killer skates)
Said he didn't kill her (said he didn't kill her)
Parents grieve today (parents grieve today)
California's sinkin' (California's sinkin')
Not much is left to save
California's sinkin'
Not much is left to save
California's sinkin'
Not much is left to save

California, there I go; Back to the land of ice and snow ... Where bowers of flowers are dead until spring; But leftie @ss&*les dont run ev'rything .... A corn-fed cutie says "Dont be late"; That's why I wont hesitate ..... To just get on that Interstate .... California, there I go

You're referring more about So Cal here. No Cal is a much better place (but more expensive) than that, and just what does Gov Brown have to do with all this anyway? The crime and drugs have plagued LA for decades. Yes the usual summer wildfires really did a bad # last year but then again disaster relief is a responsibility of a national government currently dominated by a loudmouth Neanderthal Mussolini and his retinue of fraidy-cats and ass-kissers.

Right on, SFR. My only complaint: much too kind to Ill Douché and his stronzo smoochers.

Jerry Brown *represents* his people very well; which is to say, while he pretty much is the embodiment of everything that's wrong with the California, the real reason it's such a sh*thole state is because of the kind of people whose votes put that Commie fool in power in the first place. Also, California's been sinking this way for quite some time; the only amazing thing about it is that there's still anything left to sink. (See http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/jamestaylor6.shtml for another commentary on California.)

Yo Callback, if you haven't been to California then quit yapping. Your use of the word 'Commie' shows ignorance because Gov. Brown is no commie. In SF people of ALL kinds have learned to accept and get along, something the Ill-mannered Dousch knows NOTHING about. Rudyard Kipling once said, "San Francisco is a hard city to leave" and he was right on the money!
