[The Mothers of Invention - If we'd all been living in California... lyrics]

Ok? Now if you still want to get your name
In magazines he wants five
Hundred dollars a month
Where does it come from? We worked one
Gig this month and now, so, what do we
Get, two hundred dollars for this gig up
Here, if we're lucky if we're lucky
We'll get two hundred and it'll
Be two weeks before we get it
Probably i mean a- after all
Uh what is all this shit
In the, uh, in the newspaper? We sh-, if
We got such a big name, how come, uh we're
That shit in the news we're starving
Man! This fucking band is starving! And we've
Been starving for three years i
Realize it takes a long time, but God
Damn does it take another five
Ten years from now?
There's some months when you're
Not gonna work as


Much as other months there's some months
When you're gonna make a lot of money
And if you average it out
You do make more than two
Hundred dollars a month
Expenses are sure high, too if we'd
All been living in California
It would've been different
If we'd all been living in California
We wouldn't work at all!
Ah that's - true well, we're not working n
Now anyway! We worked one gig this month
Frank! What's wrong with getting two months
In a row of this
Good money? Or three months in
A row? Then we can
Afford to take three or four
Months off and everybody can
After the first month I can get just enough
Ahead, but if I had two more months, man
I'll get ahead 'Cause I'm not
Living very extravagantly
I'll tell you for sure
