The Lyrics

I'm borrowing Static's title, but the theme is completely different. I thought I would share some of the blemishes of my home state.
Bad forecasts keep on coming.
Raining and shining off and on.
The weather here is so flaky.
It's Mother Nature on the bong.(all year long)

Well we've got a lot of people.
So many cars that it's a joke.
Some cities ignore smog checks
Our air is turning into smoke.(hear us choke)

Sweet Home California
This here state is its own zoo.
Sweet Home California
Stay away, I'm warning you.

Well San Francisco is a weird place.
Some people there are just insane.
Dressing up in bronze and bushes.
It's enough to fry your brain.(what a pain)

Sweet Home California
This here state is its own zoo.
Sweet Home California
Stay away, I'm warning you.

Well LA is one big death trap.
Bloods and Crypts all run askew.
Try to stroll around in downtown.
That's the last we'll see of you.(that's the truth)

Sweet Home California
This here state is its own zoo.
Sweet Home California
Stay away, I'm warning you.

It's the Bloods and Crips, not Bloods and Crypts. The crips stand for crippled, not dead.

Great parody! Too bad it wasn't longer - you could have worked in earthquakes, brushfires, mudslides, freeway shootings..... ;-)

Pretty good, but I had to dock you a point for forgetting the most obvious line: "In Anaheim, they love the Gov'nor, woo, woo, woo. And we don't care what he do. Now Bush's lies do not bother me. Does your karma bother you, now tell the truth!"

Alvin- Thank you and always wear body armor. Joelle- Thank you; I honestly thought that the chorus would sound forced. Mike- Thanks, but I wanted to keep politics out of this.

(ABC-S05) Excellent rhyming Scathe, and very funny. Living in VA I know all too well the "Mother Nature on the bong (all year long)" part. One of the parodied state mottos I made for VA is "VA: Where the weather forecasts have a 90% chance of being wrong." Great work.

(S) "This here state is its own zoo" is all the funnier for keeping the Southern colloquialism, Scathe ( I didn't know you were a Californian) - I guess they can just pull those fences down from the San Diego zoo then - 555

(ABC05) I'm from New England but, visited San Fran a couple of years ago. I saw some a couple of those bronze people standing by the wharf, pretending to be statues one minute and, robots the next. Very strange. Oh yeah, great job here, Scathe.

(ABC) Great song - you should pitch this to the Californan tourists board for their next ad campaign :-)
