Big Wave

I think she wrote this song about California. I saw her about a week ago and she played this song and said "as you guys know I'm from California, and California is kind of broke right now. So I wrote a song about it." I think this was the song.

Living your life in the gray Is the new American way We're spending what we haven't made And we save our money in good faith And we work hard for our living wage But the still the bank's gotta break

Because the dream's a lie And the snake, it bit you When you were awake And the books are fried You are bankrupting Because all the loans you take

Big wave Big wave Big wave It's going to hit you with a big wave

I can't sleep these days And my blues, they won't go away So there are these little pills I been taking And my doctor, she says that they're safe But I been sleepwalking down to the lake And waking up in the water

And the feeling's a lie But the snake, it bit me When I wasn't awake And the scripts, they lie I have been poisoned from All the things I take

Big wave Big wave Big wave It's going to hit me with a big wave Big wave Big wave Big wave It's going to hit you with a big wave

I know you feel deprived (You don't trust me) Our love is still alive (You haven't touched me) It's really just that I don't feel Like it much these days

And my love's a lie Because the snake, he visits me When you are away And your dreams don't lie I have been corrupted Because of all the lovers I take

Big wave Big wave Big wave You're going to hit me with a big wave Big wave Big wave Big wave It's going to hit you with a big wave Big wave Big wave Big wave It's going to hit you with a big wave
