lyrics

On California
Spanish mythical isle
Waiting for the attack
Women warriors while
Training for the crusade
On the heavenly bluffs
Preparing to fight
Only ‘cause they must
In earthly paradise
Adorned with pearls, stones, and gold
Sharpening their daggers
Beautiful, sexy, and bold
They will not be sold
Into slavery
Defeat means serving
Men eternally

The penis brings life!
(When paired with my womb)
We’re going to put patriarchy…
(Inside its tomb!)

Led by Queen Calafia
Most dazzling of queens
Upon this black goddess
Women stake their dreams
Invasion of Rome
Astride handsome griffins
Their beastly show of force
Would make any man stiffen
Upon Moslims and Christians
The griffins descend
Indiscriminately
Bringing men to their end
Constantinople
Shall fall into ruin
Salvation at hand
Matriarchy is brewing

The penis brings life!
(When paired with my womb)
We’re going to put patriarchy…
(Inside its tomb!)

I wish they all!
(Could be California women!)
Independent, strong!
(Astride handsome griffins!)

But Calafia falls
In love with Espalidan
And then she falls sway
To his Christian plan
She recalls her women
They hold off attack
And so they’re laid to waste
By the empire of lack
And that’s how it happened
Women will always serve
Our empress was foiled by
Knight of the Great Serpent
Since the dawning of man
History has been framed
As a culture of man
Playing war games

Come down to California
Bountiful cornucopia
Come down to California
Matriarchal utopia
Come down to California
Leave patriarchal paranoia
Come down to California
