Lagwagon - Surviving California Lyrics
Skid row, marginal. Some will call it home
Emptied for the art walk while the missions close
Pop-up tent cities abounding
Birthing scant displaced humanity
We spill from cities
Beyond the wealth crest
Traditional boundaries
Everything meant to burn. Thirty-year cycles
Mud pots, sandstone bluffs, crumble and erode
Fault lines, fortitude
Small streets swell into grand avenues
As we devalue
Living oblivion
Skin-deep sun-seeking
Life in the construct that's sold
Promised land, golden state, sunny, blissful
No longer affordable
Surviving California

Lagwagon Surviving California Comments
It`s the vocalist of Pridebowl at 2:25?
Easily the best song of 2019.
Love the bridge in this song.
Saw y'all in ATL last night... Great show! 🤘
the best of the new record/
This is good... welcome back guys!!
Beautiful guitar solo
Man, that shit is dope!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tbh, the best Lagwagon album since 'Feelings...20 year wait though
I have always loved you guys, but this is fucking great. 90s punk in 2019, you cant go wrong
can´t wait for the vinyl
Great to hear new Lagwagon ! Will never froget SOIA / Lawrence Arms and Lagwagon at old Trocadero sadly no lomger a venue !
who is da poser now?
I AM SO HAPPY
Yup.. this state sucks, now. Thanks, politicians.
Epicccccc solo BTW big bitch lol 😂
Back to the basics Randall and Wagon
Never cease to amaze guys
All aboaaaaaaaaard 😎
What an insanely aggressive guitar solo...
Wow a guitar solo! Pleasant surprise!
It sounds.... and looks like TRASHED!
This is fucking amazing.
Getting Iron Maiden tones from this riff, awesome track
Oh shit... fuck !!! 3 week ago? What im doing before?
Such a vicious first riff! Great track, can't wait for the whole album!
Solid track but man the production is bad. The vocal tuning is so obvious.
*Which came first...trashed or duh....don’t look it up just answer below quickly
Glad their still around but like most their best shit was their oldest and that’s 3/4 songs on the otherwise shitty leftovers album..in my opinion*
This song kicks some serious ass!
Amazing theme. Lagwagon brings the old school sound to today making it even better. Joey is having his best moment as songwrtier.
Looking forward to this new album.
Sounds great so far.
What a riff! Reminds me of "Tornado of souls" by Megadeth for some reason...although it's faster and more complex. :)
I can hear that too!
I hear some dividers on the intro
oh sht i thought it's 90s right know
Is there a way to turn up the bass line in the mix? Great playing but I just can't hear the bass guitar on either of these two new songs. And it's great playing too, just not loud enough (bass guiltar). Seems like it's been that way since the feelings album
If you only knew how many times i've listened to this song already. Fucking rockin!!
Fuck yeah, back on the wagon!!! (portugal please)
Good old raw punk!
Incredible! Needed this release in my life. 🤘😁
The band that’s aging the best on the Fat roster.
There are alot of punkers with happy tears in their eyes right now! All aboard the lagwagon!
Thx god , lagwagon not electro music until now😃❤
Fat Mike in it too!!
Ah yes is that confirmed? Thought it was him.
@mrbtapir Yeah I thought someone was impersonating him. Is it Fat Mike?

Surviving California.
Perfect pic of California today.
Living in SoCal btw.
Holy crap! 🤓 First bubble, now this... Railer is looking to be my new favorite album of all time. So stoked to hear new lagwagon tunes, I feel 18 again! Goosebumps right through. October 4th can't come soon enough!
I really hope somewhere out there a couple kids are driving to their favorite skate spot jamming this
Skaters all listen to rap nowadays. I miss the 90's.
@bassage13 Oh no!
Yeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhh!! Just what i needed!! A new Lagwagon Album!
Nofx + no use for a name = lagwagon
Lagwagon - keepin south cali punk rock & hardcore alive !!
Duh!,derrick!,daveraun🍻
Thank you for giving me something else to look forward to 😎 been a long time fan but this is why I started listening. Good job.
*Greatest album cover ever to be created in the history of humanity.*
CAPER IS GOD 😇🧙♂️💨
MANTEP!
...wit a little bit of bad astronaut in there
man.. I miss bad astronaut...bad
This solo is fucking awesome
AMAZING! ALWAYS GOOD MUSIC WITH LAGWAGON.
Truth right here. Thats why i had to leave it a couple years ago.... good song
Just listened to "Hoss" the other day, this reminds me of that record. Lookin' forward to the new release.
first heard Lagwagon's music when I was 19 on one of my first acid trips, glad they're making a new album. \m/
Everyones sayin its like old lagwagon.. its nowhere near as fast.
Lee Carter let me know what you think man. I always tell my wife how happy they make me and remind me of the old skate punk. I saw lagwagon at fest last year and they played let’s talk about feelings front to back and it was amazing. Then they played stuff off hang and it just felt different ya know. Trashed is my fave.
Lee Carter right on, I was mainly joking. Smelly certainly keeps the double time beat going at his advanced age. I guess I like a blend of super fast and some medium tempo songs. As a guitar player myself I’m really digging the riff in this new song. For what it’s worth, trashed has always been my favorite lagwagon record. Stoking the neighbors and island of misery, fantastic songs that get me hyped up and induce the head bang ha
Timmy O'Leary hey bud.. listened to them bands there great but what’s up wit the declines album cover I’m a born again Christian lol.
Lee Carter I have no explanation on that one. Just in it for the music. To each their own I guess man. Sorry if I offended ya.
@Timmy O'Leary didnt offend me bro.. like ya say each to their own. Good bands though
Damn straight California isn’t affordable! Great song about commiefornia!
Oh my god what a riff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!
Wow, sounds like it belongs on Trashed. Love it.
So glad Lagwagon is still doing their thing. Such a great band.
I feel like I'm playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater... dope
See you live tomorrow in Québec guys!
What era am I in?
I found a time machine!!! Think I’ll stay here
Totally. I feel 24 years younger
@STEREO FIFTY ONE PRODUCTIONS ... until I tried to get up from the computer chair lol.
The lyrics and message behind this is something to think about.
More like Hang than the other one. Fucking excellent, wow.
hmmm, by far not as straight as the great song Bubble. Goes more the Hang direction. Hang is ok, but i hoped for a straight classic album. Well, let´s wait and see... but the last minute of this song is great!
.........................
Ok, i hear this song ten times in a row. It´s amazing!
same here: the often you hear the VERY!!! better it gets....
tmmbtofu I kind of heard a bit of duh mixed with hang on the first listen. I’m digging it. Can’t wait to hear the entire album.
Joey Cape is more fucking street punk than street punks.
Feelin, it. California born and raised. Shits rough just trying to keep up day to day... I never wanna leave but the cost is Fucking crazy.... Except the weed! Owwww!!!
TRASHED!!!!!!
Shit this one sounds nasty to play
Joey Cape, never disappoints..
rock world
Yeeees!
Felt 20 again! :)
0:41 seconds of guitar solo in a 2:51 arrangement... now that’s a song!!! #RIPDerrickPlourde
The one I’m holding obv 😢
RKL vibes!
im hearing more Riches to Rags than Duh or Trashed in this song 💪🏼
Two songs from new album and both bangers.... can't wait....
He got nice legs .... XD
Fucking mind blown!! Lagwagon at it again!!! Sick song!!!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hints of RKL and old school Lagwagon. Perfect blend!!!
Awesome. The same excitement as coming home with a double platinum cassingle from warped tour.
Alien 8 / today cassette single? Warped Tour 97 was good
Refreshing af in 2019. You guys really came back strong with the album game.. I expected nothing less.
Gonna be a great CD. Can’t wait.
the song was written about blink 182's most recent album. they didn't survive. I know which #9 i'm buying #Lagwagon
LAGWAGON ! OLD SCHOOL SOUND ! yeahhh
Thanks recommended
god fucking dammit Lagwagon. thank you so much! love you guys
Still lagwagon <3
October 4 needs to get here now. I’ll be listening to Railer on my way to see Lagwagon and Face to Face.
#Fuckincatalinawinemixer
*#POW**!!!*
This is awesome, can’t wait to see them next month in San Diego!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Me too!
bangsat beud lagwagon kalo bikin lagu susah buat dikulik, all hail lagwagon
Haha, Fat Mike has just one line in the song. Hilarious. Per usual Fat Mike cameo style.
do you know when he has his cameo? I must've missed it
@Expand Donk its right at the end
I think you are right, he sounds like Fat Mike.
It's definitely him. He does a similar thing in "Violins" and also in Screeching Weasel's "Peter Brady" from their classic 1992; album "Anthem for a New Tomorrow ".
@subhash Recordx lol at the end of violins it sounds like fats singing style, but I'm pretty sure it's not him. As for this song it does sound like Fat
