All the gold
In California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else's name
So if you're dreaming
About California
It don't matter at all where you played before
California is a brand new game
Trying to be a hero
Winding up a zero
Can scar a man forever
Right down to your soul
Living on the spotlight
Can kill a man outright
Cause everything that glitters
Is not gold
And all the gold
In California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else's name
So if you're dreaming
About California
It don't matter at all where you played before
California is a brand new game
All the gold
In California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
