If you should be bored in California
如果你在加利福尼亞感到無聊
I'm sure I'm not the first to warn ya
我敢肯定我不是第一個給你警告
Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns
不要過度關注那些轉向和路標
Keep your wits about you and your mind freedom
保持頭腦清醒和思想自由很有必要

I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya

The natives scaled the mountains for the promise of the sea
當地人翻山越嶺只為了大海的承諾
But deemed the land unworthy of them evidently
顯然他們認為這塊土地不值得

We salute the sun because
我們向太陽致敬
When the day is done
因為當白天結束時
We can't believe what we've become
我們不敢相信我們竟然
Something else to prey upon
搖身一變為捕食者
And evidently
而顯然
It's just another vanity
這不過是另一種虛榮
Another something to believe
另一種證據讓你確信
The curse of the contemporary
這當代的詛咒
