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
