Curse of the Contemporary

If you should be bored in California

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

Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns

Keep your wits about you

And your mind freedom

If you should be bored in California

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

The natives scaled the mountains

For the promise of the sea

But deemed the land unworthy of them

Evidently

We salute the sun because

When the day is done

We can't believe what we've become

Something else to prey upon

Evidently it's just another vanity

Another something to believe

Curse of the contemporary

We salute the sun because

When the day is done

We can't believe what we've become

Something else to prey upon

Evidently it's just another vanity

Another something to believe
