You Must be Kidding (Live) Lyrics by Will Butler

Friday Night

2016

[Spoken]
Jo Firestone, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you. Thank you for comin' out
That was really hurtful, though
The way you booed me
[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 kiddin'
It's only just begun."
[Verse 2]
I was born in California before the fields burned to the ground
And the people started leaving and the dust it started claimin' the towns
I tried to call to governor to see if all the troubles wеre done
She said, "You must bе kiddin'
It's only just begun."
[Chorus]
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
It's only just begun
[Verse 3]
We were standing on the beach and we were tryin' hard to figure things out
Some kids were killin' Piggy, and some other kids were fishin' for trout
When the choppers started comin' 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 filled up with sand
I asked the concierge if this is how the things here were done
She said, "You must be kiddin'
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 (It's only just begun)
It's only just begun (It's only just begun)
It's only just begu—it's only just be—
[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
[Bridge]
Why don't you stay by my side
While the oceans, they spit in our eyes, and
The mountains are laughin', baby, my
Hands are so dry, but
We 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
