California's Dark
Lyricist:Tom Morello
It started in basements And it started in sheds It started in backyards And was hidden under beds
I turned on the TV Don't believe a word they say We can't stay here now, love And we can't get away
There's a riot on Sunset And fires burn in the park The sun has set, my friend And California's dark
And over the screaming I heard a clear voice I looked at my choices Yeah, and I made a choice
Smoke and ashes Tonight hide the stars The stop lights are red now, love We come for what's ours
There's a riot on Sunset And fires burn in the park The sun has set my friend And California's dark
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Come stand among the rattlesnakes At the side of the desert road And close your eyes and listen To the music hard and cold
Tonight the moon is blackened Tonight the doors are shut Behind the shuttered windows We pray that the sun will come up
For something walks across these fields For which there is no name Now, you might have heard different, sonny But I was there when it came
It will start with a spark And a great fire will grow Don't know how I know it, man Yeah, but I just know
There's a riot on Sunset And fires burn in the park The sun sets everywhere And the whole damn country's dark, yeah
Now, there's a riot on Sunset And fires burnin' in the park The sun has set my friend And California's dark
