In Cali's golden land, the looters play
They stroll through stores and boldly walk away
For years the law's been solved, a fleeting breeze
Now they say they'll bring thieves to their knees
Newsom steps up, a mask upon his face
Proclaims the bill will save this lawless place
Is justice served with fleeting fines and state
Or just a ploy to calm the public pain
For those in power often miss the call
Let thieves run wild before they build the wall
Easier now, they say, to catch the crooks
The ones who fought the law's like open books
Yet memory falls on what we faced before
When leaders pandered to the thieves and more
Oh, what a joke to act so bold and new
When all they've done is feign to follow through
Is justice served with fleeting fines and state
Or just a ploy to calm the public pain
For those in power often miss the call
Let thieves run wild before they build the wall
Yet oh, the past we call a firmer stand
When law and order ruled across the land
The Trump approach was clear, no great surprise
To bring the peace and hear the people's cries
Is justice served with fleeting fines and state
Or just a ploy to calm the public pain
For those in power often miss the call
Let thieves run wild before they build the wall
A wake-up call, how sound it can they hear
To stand for all, not coward back in fear
Until that day, we'll watch the story play
And hope for change in California's way
