I′ve had California dreamin'

And I′ve had California turn on me

You can believe in thatYou can believe in that

I found truth in the aftermath

And got everything that ever really mattered back

You can believe in that

You can believe in that

I won't be compromised

I know how to survive the worst that you can give

And I will never, ever go away

I can pull myself out of the grave

You can believe in that

You can believe in that

Step back and watch the show

Hear the cry on the Citizen Radio

We will be heard before the curtains close

The voice of the unknown

Hear the cry on the Citizen Radio

We'll always be the ones who told you so

And I′ve seen another future through

The broken hearts down Union Avenue

You can believe in that

You can believe in that

And I′ve had to wait long enough

I can't turn back now, there′s no givin' up

You can believe in that

You can believe in that

I won′t be used again

I've learned how to defend myself against the world

Step back and watch the show

Hear the cry on the Citizen Radio

We will be heard before the curtains close

The voice of the unknown

Hear the cry on the Citizen Radio

We′ll always be the ones who told you so

I won't be compromised

I know how to survive the worst that you can give

I won't be used again

I′ve learned how to defend myself against the world

And I found that perfect love

But she could never understand where I was coming from

You can believe in that

You can believe in that

And I′ve had friends walk away

I will never understand the choice they made

You can believe in that

You can believe in that

Step back and watch the show

Hear the cry on the Citizen Radio

We will be heard before the curtains close.

The voice of the unknown

Hear the cry on the Citizen Radio

We'll always be the ones who told you so

I told you so

I′m holdin' on

I told you so

I′m holdin' on
