You Must Be Kidding Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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."

[Verse 2]
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."

[Chorus]
They've only just begun
They've only just begun
It's only just begun

[Verse 3]
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."

[Chorus]
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
It's only just begun

[Refrain]
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah

[Bridge]
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

[Refrain]
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-ah, a-a-a-a-ah
