State
of California
In the Governor's Mansion, sits a desperate man.
Worried he'll fall victim, to a right wing recall plan.
Though he was re-elected, just a few months before.
The economy was suffering, his approval poor.
Not content on the sidelines, the GOP struck fast.
They saw a chance to steal his seat if the recall measure
passed.
Once the power grab got rolling, nothing stood in its
way
It's a black eye for democracy, what else can I say?
Welcome to the State of California.
Such a lovely place.
Such an ugly race.
Plenty of eyes on the State of California.
Now his days are few,
Toppled by a coup.
It started out like a circus, one thirty-five in the ring.
There were porn stars, sumo wrestlers, and the melon-bashing
king.
At center stage on the ballot, we find a Hollywood name.
An actor who's violent roles brought him lots of wealth
and fame.
He's got name recognition, and a Kennedy wife.
He's never held an elected job one single day of his
life.
His policies are sketchy, and keep changing by the day.
But he's a darling with the TV news, and this is what
they say:
Welcome to the State of California.
Such a lovely place...
Such a colorful race...
There's plenty of news from the State of California.
Can he terminate...
In the Golden State?
He abuses women, both on and off the set.
The news is full of victims' accounts that he hopes we'll
soon forget.
And in his debate appearance, it's clear he knew the
least.
Opponents slammed his fitness for the job, but they just
couldn't slow the beast.
When the verdict was broadcast, I collapsed on the floor.
At first I thought it was a nightmare scene from Terminator
4.
Relax, said the newsman, he's been programmed to succeed.
I know he's handy with a movie script, but can he ever
lead?
