lyrics

San Diego (D.Dagenais)
Oh San Diego, Oh Malibu
With your pink Barbie castles
And you divided wealth
kings and peasants too

I read the news
about the mansions that went up
But not a single word
about this old man’s cardboard box
Oh San Diego

The wild fires blew in
on the Santa Anna wind
And ashes fell like snowflakes,
covered up the swimming pools
Houses lit like kindling

On the ridge I stood
and looked down on the wealth
And for tonight I thought
everyone is like myself
Homeless in San Diego

You know the fire didn’t care
who you were or what you owned
It took the last thing that I had
that I considered home
That picture of you in San Diego
