With California now definatively "The Cheese"

With the raw force behind those words:

"California.  It's the Cheese."

With all of the angelic visions the television

Uses premeditatively against our wallets

And tighly clenched purses

Aware from shadows

Sitting in California are a mere million woes

Unheeding the appellation to be California

Being merely woes

Mightily human and universal



Those wo sit at their alters

Smiling at their belief

That their stock in Cheese is secure

And clutch at the flow of memes

Trance at the coincedences



Those that the Colossus tramples under the freeway

The freeway the freeway the freeway

The endless road never travelled

Leaving behind

A clump of wiser humanity



Those friendly merchants of confusion

That wear the laurals of art and greatness

Who also follow all of those nice and secret publications

The kind your mother didn't know about to warn you

And would crash your mind



Those builders of buildings so safe and secure

Whose foundations are rocking from greed

Whose killings are propping up this land

Bones and burned skin cover all of the landmarks

Proud house-builder with his hands cut off



Those cynics think of new ways to present

Some sense of the frailties the mind is heir to

Never take the time to tell us that our will

Is stong enough to comfort our selves

And everything is gonna be alright



This is the Cheese, the California

The ways of the crisis

It fits on the bookshelf

Keeping company with Ice Ages

Lemmings Wars Toothpicks Anarchy

Divorce Thermonuclear chain reactions

Heroin Earthquakes and Brie



In San Francisco there are places

Where the land hits the water

With great force

Immutable boundaries

Being muted
