Yerba Buena Lyrics

Eighteen forty-six

Shovels ax and picks

Old guard cast away

Declared Monterey

Taking western roads

Opportunists drove

What the future holds

Some would seek for gold

Earp and Masterson

Others after them

Fortunes made and lost

Never questioned cost

Find a spot to stand

Grab life with your hand

Easy understand

Yerba Buena land

California pipe dream

Pick a flavor ice cream

Imagine what you want

Modern man-made diet

Cloned plant protein riot

Your phone could pick a date

With scientific rate

Or plan your next vacation out of state

Movie stars galore

Out of work what for

It was just an act

Screenwriters strike back

Lusting greedy choke

On delicious smoke

Mexico rivals

Out compete idols

Sacramento's bent

Chinese won for lent

What's your fortune read

Is it up your sleeve

Gave it all away

Wasn't your parley

Sold out public trust

Yerba Buena bust

California pipe dream

Pick a flavor ice cream

Modern man-made diet

Cloned plant protein riot

Your phone could pick a date

With scientific rate

Or plan your next vacation out of state

Golden hills above the vineyards

Where the buried treasure lies

Never give away your knowledge

Let them revel in their lies

It is best to keep a secret

It is wise to stay discreet

That the treasure they've been hard seeking for

Still lies buried 'neath their feet

California pipe dream

Pick a flavor ice cream

Imagine what you want

Modern man-made diet

Cloned plant protein riot

Your phone could pick a date

With scientific rate

Or plan your next vacation out of state
