Lyrics:

[English]

I am Governor Jerry Brown

My aura smiles and never frowns

Soon I will be president

Carter power will soon go 'way

I will be Führer one day

I will command all of you

Your kids will meditate in school

Your kids will meditate in school

California, Über Alles

California, Über Alles

Über Alles, California

Über Alles, California

Zen's fascists will control you

Hundred percent natural

You will jog for the master race

And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here

Big bro on white horse is near

The hippies won't come back, you say

Mellow out or you will pay

Mellow out or you will pay

California, Über Alles

California, Über Alles

Über Alles, California

Über Alles, California

Now it is 1984

Knock, knock at your front door

It's the suede denim secret police

They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp

You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp

Don't you worry, it's only a shower

For your clothes, here's a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas

Serpent's egg's already hatched

You will croak, you little clown

When you mess with President Brown

When you mess with President Brown

California, Über Alles

California, Über Alles

Über Alles, California

Über Alles, California
