The Neighbourhood - West Coast Lyrics
I'm from a different type of left landOld Wild West landNosebleeds, palms trees, and tumble weeds rustlingOutside they say it's happy here but it's depressingTo many pretty face catching my attentionSo I look at them, remind myself in the smudged glassThat pretty isn't everything, you punk assAlways hard to see past the surfaceWhen it looks so perfectBut her eyes will disguise dirt on purposeYou listening?I grew up here under the sunIn grade school I was the odd one out of the bunchAnd I don't mean I was the kid to eat bugs for lunchI was the one who wasn't coming from where their coming fromI speak poetically and never pride my ignoranceBut this California shit is rigorousThey say it's happy here, happiness is figurativeI'm happy cause of me doesn't matter where I'm livingIf the sun was god I'd be covered in faithIf the ocean was the devil I'd be covered in hateI'm so west coast, it's a god damn shame (x2)I'm waking up underneath sheets, *****, still sweatingSlept in late so everybody else is readyMy friend called up he said "Hurry up, Buddy, it's almost sun down already".So I hopped upI went and washed upI ate some pasta then I gave my mom hugsThen I thought uh it's gonna be a pretty nice nightBut pretty isn't everything right?Golden state mindI'm taking my timePlain white shirt and a skinny black tieMy top let down when I get picked upP.C.H so CaliforniaMaybe they were rightHappiness is a warm gunBut before you shoot please warn usLife is too funCalifornia will you marry me?Let god be the sunAnd then the ocean they shall bury meIf the sun was god I'd be covered in faithIf the ocean was the devil I'd be covered in hateI'm so west coast it's a god damn shame (x4)
