Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name
So if you’re dreaming about California
It don’t matter at all where you played before
California’s a brand new game

Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero
Can scar a man forever, right down to your soul
Living on the spot light, can kill a man out right

’Cause everything that glitters is not gold

And all the gold in California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name
So if you’re dreaming about California
It don’t matter at all where you played before
California’s a brand new game

And all the gold in California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody else’s name
So if you’re dreaming about California
It don’t matter at all where you played before
California’s a brand new game
