Dead Kennedys – California Über Alles (Lyrics)

Written By: Easy Bay Ray, Jello Biafra, John Greenway, Klaus Flouride

Lyrics (Start at 0:22):

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon, I will be president
Carter power will soon go way
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school

California über alles
California über alles
Über alles, California
Über alles, California

Zen fascists will control you
Hundred percent natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can’t happen here
A big bro on white horse is near
The hippies won’t come back, you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay

California über alles
California über alles
Über alles, California
Über alles, California

Now it is 1984
Knock, knock at your front door
It’s the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes, here’s a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpent’s eggs already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

California über alles
California über alles
Über alles, California
Über alles, California
