THE DISPOSABLE HEROES OF HIPHOPRISY - California Ueber Alles lyrics

Califoria ueber alles

California above all others

[Dead Kennedy's:] California ueber alles (2x)

I'm your governor Pete Wilson ya know

The baddest governor to ever grab the mic and go

BOOOM !

Gimme a budget and watch me hack it !

Gimme a beat and I'll show you how to jack it !

I give the rich a giant tax loophole

I leave the poor living in a poophole

At time when Aids is in a crisis

I cut health care and I raise prices

Sales tax, snack tax, excise tax

Information attack with a newspaper tax

Hit the pocket books of working families

Increase tuition at the universities

Some day I'll command all o' you

Even your kids are gonna pray to me in school

Soon I'm gonna be the president

You might remember the last one this state sent

[CHORUS]

I'm so proud to know the Great Communicator

Wanna be known as the Great Incarcerator

I'll blow environmentalists away

And I'll be the fuhrer some day

I'll keep cuttin' Public Education

even though we rang 54th in the nation

I've got a plan for all the minorities

Send'em to the California Youth Authorities

From San Francisco Urban Elementary

to Pelican Bay State Penitentiary

There they can work for the master race

and always wear a happy face

Close your eyes, it can't happen here

Big Brother in a squad car's comin' near

Come enjoy the surf and the sun

and help California number one !

[CHORUS]

Now it's 1992

Knock knock at your front door, yo guess who ?!

It's the suede denim secret police

They've come to your house for your longhaired niece

Gonna send her off to a camp

'cause she's been accused of growing hemp

Don't worry it's only a shower

And now for your clothes here's a pretty flower

Gonna die on malathion gas

The serpent's egg has always been hatched

People starvin' and livin' in the streets

because they tried to mess with me President Pete

[CHORUS
