We Don't Need Another Song About California Lyrics

Give up or give it a shot
Dedication, to the places that you never need to hide
Occupations, the opportunity to see yourself in our lights

And all the city fires
And the tabloid lies
And the television guides
For the missions and the boulevards
And the way it is when money's all you got

Stop and stare
At the accidents and stars that bore you
We don't dare sing another song for California

Well anywhere
Where the city lights are hopeless for you
We don't care or need another song for California

Shut up and give me a shot
On vacation, to the places that you never want to die
On the station, everybody hears but no one needs to try
On the telephone, on the methadone
Every minute that you scream

For the errant scars and the dying stars
Every second that you take to fake your life

Stop and stare
At the accidents and stars that bore you
We don't dare sing another song for California

Well anywhere
Where the city lights are hopeless for you
We don't care or need another song for California

Stop and stare
At the accidents and stars that bore you
We don't dare sing another song for California

Well anywhere
Where the city lights are hopeless for you
We don't care or need another song for California

I agree with the title of the song is so true there are way to many songs about California, even though thats not what the song really means. I will listen to it somemore and try my best to share the true meaning of the song

The title is sarcasm, I believe.

My Interpretation

Does this song have any bearing on the overall story of Danger Days? Just wondering.

No, This one and Vampire Money have nothing to do with Danger Days because they appear on the album after Goodnight Dr. Death, which signals the end of the Killjoys story.

This song is about how there are so many songs for California and no one needs another one, but while Gerard agrees with this he wants to add his own anyway, mostly because a lot of the other songs about California highlights the positives and his highlights the negatives.

My Interpretation
