Lit - California Sun Lyrics






Sneaking out behind that shed
Stolen pack of momma's Winston Red's
Stash some of dad's magazines
My first crush miss April '83

Building jumps high as we could
Stacking bricks and old plywood
Bloody lips and broken bones
Still haven't beat the street lights home

High on dreams and loaded like a gun
California Sun

Summer seemed to last forever
Back before when we knew better
We tore it up, left a mark on this town
Always thought we'd stay together
It's who we are it doesn't matter
If I'm home or out there on the run
I'm still a California son

California Sun

Traded that bag for a fake Les Paul
Met a girl thought I had it all
First kiss first date everything
First time I knew a heart could break
I guess that's what you get when you fall in love
With a California son

Summer seemed to last forever
Back before when we knew better
We tore it up, left a mark on this town
Always thought we'd stay together
It's who we are it doesn't matter
If I'm home or out there on the run
I'm still a California son

Best friends in a beat up van
Trying to be more than a local band
A lot of miles a lot of songs
And everyone we had to prove wrong
Man it sure felt good that number one
Not bad for a California son

Summer seemed to last forever
Back before when we knew better
We tore it up, left a mark on this town
We lost a good one along the way
Man it just won't be the same
I know he's up there shining down on us
California Sun
California Sun

    This, of course, sounds extremely rude and disrespectful to one of the “godfathers of punk rock” (although I do not consider this group’s contribution to punk rock to be significant compared to “New York Dolls and Death”), but the cover of California Sun from the Dictators piece of shit.
    And what Ramones did 2 years later on his Leave Home masterpiece album (this is my favorite album in general) is the greatest cover ever.
    Ramones is the best debut album in history, Leave Home is the best album in history, Rocket To Russia is more a masterpiece than all the other records that were before and after, and Ramones is the greatset and most influential group in history (even more than The Beatles), whose genius of songs and the incredible power of live performances no one ever repeats.
    I am not going to soften my remarks in order to please the ignorant public, putting on the work of dozens of other bands (such as real diamonds like The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix, and spawning like Pink Floyd, Van Halen and Guns'n'Roses. ) over the brilliant Queens freaks, who call the fathers of punk rock a commercial fan called Sex Pistols and deny the fact that all the music after 1976 borrows the innovative elements of Ramones.
    Because it's true. Ramones are the greatest.
