El Cerrito Lyrics - Berkeley To Bakersfield - Cracker

Walking down the street in San Francisco just the other day 

Wondering what has happened to the freaks and hippies and the punks 

Everybody's squeaky clean, they look and dress and act the same 

I don't give a shit about your IPO I live in El Cerrito 

Mama took the Altimeter Transit bus to work each day 

All the way down San Pablo, thirty years a Naval base 

Never heard her once complain about taking public transportation 

You should ride the city bus just like the rest of us in El Cerrito 

Do do do do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do 

El Cerrito 

Big moustache in taxi cabs, don't you know the ? 

Union bus to ? morales, I said it 

Bullshit claims to change the world, making Wall Street bankers even richer (richer, richer, richer) 

El Cerrito's got its problems but we don't pick pockets of the working man 

Pablo was an engineer, working Hewlett Packard 

Dumbarton Bridge two times a day then lost his job and pay cheque 

We would go and visit him in bars in Jack Landis Square 

I don't give a shit about your IPO I come from El Cerrito 

Do do do do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do 

El Cerrito 

Do do do do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do 

El Cerrito 

If there is a lesson from this story to be learned 

It's not exactly what you think, you shouldn't be concerned 

It's not that we don't like the rich, it's simply that we think this kind is boring 

Everybody thinks and acts the same that's why I live in El Cerrito 

Do do do do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do 

El Cerrito 

Do do do do do do do do do do 

Do do do do do do do do do 

El Cerrito 

Ooh
