California Justice Lyrics

Cover art for California Justice lyrics by Five for Fighting

okay this song is about a man who kills people to make life fair (he thinks). California justice means that all people have the same rights and stuff. At first he kills a the boyfriend of a surfer girl who took away his wave (he calls it Conchita). Then he flees away to escape from the police, but they get him though. He has to get to court. Hired a fixer (lawyer) to keep things blurry (to get it right). He gets free cause there's a lack of evidence, I think. Then he kills a dealer while playing blackjack; he had 20 but the dealer had 21, so the dealer won. He wants justice, so he shoots the dealer. Tahoe city is a gambling city. The last 12 lines are a descripton of how life should be.. (a dream).

Conchita refers to surf spot in Ventura County, La Conchita State Beach
