California Über Alles by Dead Kennedys.

I am governor Jerry Brown
my aura smiles
and never frowns
soon i will be president...
Carter power will soon go away
i will be führer one day
i will command all of you
your kids will meditate in school
California über alles
über alles california
Zen fascists will control you
100% 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
California über alles
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
California über alles
über alles california
