|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
(???, like those southern shores?)

The records play, it could be ours

But you don't seem to hang out here these days

Pushing both my feet into the sand

Knowing this could never be my land

But the TV is the only fun in town

'''(Chorus)'''

Music's too loud, sun has gone to clouds

(Dennis is dead and Brian's in bed?)

(Best world of choice?) at the speed and the noise

I'd return if I could say bye bye to California

'''(Verse 2)'''

Don't believe what you hear

And read till' you've got everything you need

The people smile and know that it's alright

Everything for me is turning sour

I wake again exactly on the hour

But I don't know exactly where I've been

'''(Chorus)'''

Music's too loud, sun has gone to clouds

(Dennis is dead and Brian's in bed?)

(Best world of choice?) at the speed and the noise

I'd return if I could say bye bye to California

'''(Verse 3)'''

Days flash past once you rescue me

I'm so sorry that I didn't see

That the grass is never greener over here

At least I've got my radio 

And it's playing, (the sons they know?)

(???), and that's a nightmare now

'''(Chorus)'''

Music's too loud, sun has gone to clouds

(Dennis is dead and Brian's in bed?)

(Best world of choice?) at the speed and the noise

I'd return if I could say bye bye

Music's too loud, sun has gone to clouds

(Dennis is dead and Brian's in bed?)

(Best world of choice?) at the speed and the noise

I'd return if I could say bye bye to California

'''(Outro)'''

Bring it on, bring it on

Bring it on, bring it on
