No matter how I ever try 
As long as I know that I'm right 
I'm sure they felt the same 

What if we stop chasing this dream 
Give up to join this endless game 
Now and forever 

 [bad word] back California Dreamin' 
Please shine on me another minute today 
Is the day that I could die 

Get up it's morning let's go to work 
Performing this ancient ritual 
This tradition still goes on 

Just to weeks to turn your minds off 
And to believe you're the only one 
Who's gonna live forever 

 [bad word] back California Dreamin' 
Please shine on me another minute today 
Is the day that I could die 
 [bad word] back California Dreamin' 
Please shine on me another minute today 
Is the day that I could die 

My friends they've all got a degree 
To live the way they used to hate 
Gotta be a man just like me 
They now say 

 [bad word] back California Dreamin' 
Please shine on me another minute today 
Is the day that I could die 
 [bad word] back California Dreamin' 
Please shine on me another minute today 
Is the day that I could die
