- Californication LyricsPsychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east
At least it's settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin?
Or is it war you're waging?
First born unicorn
Hard core, soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication
Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off "station to station"
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population
Well, everybody's been there
And I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hard core, soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication
Dream of Cailfornication
Dream of Cailfornication
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They are just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test
But this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hard core, soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication
Dream of Cailfornication
Dream of Cailfornication
Try to steal your mind's elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It's Californication
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east
At least it's settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging

The lyrics of Californication give the most focus to social commentary, self-examination, love, inspiration and angst. To put it in another way, the song brings to our attention the constant struggle between good and evil, the impact of the film industry and culture on our lives, and the unending circle of dreams and realities.

Californication is a song about the movement of western culture toward the superficial, the skin deep, the valuation of facade over substance.

I guess it would just be too painful for you fanboys to consider the possibility that its just a rather dumb person saying the first thing that comes into his head. Try it, you might be a genius too.

Hollywood is the source of all that is bad in Western civilized culture, and is morally corrupting the entire world by promoting shallow relationships, unrealistic fantasies, and abortion.

It's about the influence of Hollywood and the media over american lives. And how life has turned to poop. And yes. It references abortion. Control the population is the reference. That full stanza.
