Description
This song is about spending a great deal of time following your dreams just to give it all up right before achieving your goals. It's about being 'at the gates' of your own 'revolution'. But you're jaded. You've become the pawn of the American Dream. So you give up. You leave it all behind. You stick your thumb out on the side of a barren road. And you hitch a ride to California. Because that's where are all the answers are. Or are they?
Lyrics
Desperate sale of the soul by the side of the road in the burning gaslight. Anthemic pledge to all our dead; He is risen again. We're at the gates of this revolution. But I feel jaded, I feel bested. Point this car west. To California. Lord you know I'm leaving. Cause I don't care no more. The awnings of our youth buckle under the weight of the great divide now. And our flag is dead at the top of its pole yet we want more more more. Are we to blame for this revolution? I feel jaded and I feel bested. Lay me to rest. In California. Lord you know I'm leaving. Cause I don't care no more.
