You Must Be Kidding

Lyrics

I was standing on a mountain
 when I got a message from the sun
 It was a sad face, a trophy, a heart, and a loaded gun
 I wrote her in a panic
 I said, "My God, what have you done?"
 She said, "You must be kidding.
 It's only just begun."
 I was born in California
 back before the fields burned to the ground
 and the people started leaving
 and the dust it started claiming the towns
 I tried to call to governor
 to see if all the troubles were done
 She said, "You must be kidding.
 They've only just begun."
 We were standing on the beach
 and we were trying hard to figure things out.
 Some kids were killing Piggy,
 and some other kids were fishing for trout
 When the choppers started landing
 and the army came to take us away
 They put us in a nice hotel for a day
 I wandered through the lobby
 tried to wash the blood from my hands
 but the faucet wasn't running
 it was all filled with sand
 I asked the concierge
 if this is how the things here were done—
 She said, "You must be joking—
 it's only just begun."
 Why don't you
 stay by my side
 while the oceans
 they spit in our eye
 and the mountains are laughing
 and my
 hands are so dry
 but we've got enough money, baby
 it'll be all right
 yeah, we've got enough money, maybe
 it'll be all right
 ah ha ha ha haahhahahahahahahha
