We Don't Need Another Song About California (Bonus Track) Lyrics

Give up and give it a shot.
Dedication, to the places that you never need to hide
Occupations, the opportunity to see yourself in our lights

And all the city fires
And the tabloid lies
And the television guides
For the missions and the...

    The Danger Days album concept is set in California, so it could be something to do with them saying they don't want to be just one thing, they want to be more, they want to be themselves and be more. There are a couple of references to the 'Killjoy' concept aswell, which add to this theory.

    I also agree with the comment below me, with California being used in loads of songs recently, so they are basically telling people to shut up about the state.

    I think there's two meanings in general to this song:
    1) We don't need another song about California (think of "Dani California", "California Gurls", and all the songs related to the state in some way.)
    2) Stop and stare
    At the accidents and stars that bore you
    We don't dare, sing another song for California

    Or anywhere
    Where the city lights are hopeless for you
    We don't care
    I'm needing another song for California

    These versus almost indicate that California is going to the dogs. There's famous people, accidents and stuff that no longer interests people, and that it's crashing down on itself. At first they say they don't dare sing about it, because of law trouble they could get in with the government, but then they sing that they no longer care. The people need to know what's happening. They don't care who brings them down after that. They also say that lots of celebrities are faking their lives, meaning they have no actual happiness. (There's also reference about the fires of 2012 from the Killjoy story.)

    Overall, it just means that California's fading quickly. I think...
    PS I accidentally submitted some of this before I actually finished, so just ignore the other one.
