lyrics
Sitting there sipping a cup of coffee
At a stoplight in Berkeley in his pick-up truck
An emergency crew was stopped there too;
They rushed in when the tree fell and crushed him
And everybody said it was so weird
Something nobody would have predicted
But we are all just tenants here
And that day, that guy got
Evicted
No legal notice
Evicted
No posted warning
Evicted
Just a final summons
Evicted
That fateful morning.
Driving south through Vacaville in the rain
a car hit a cow in the northbound lane
That heifer flew and crashed into the windshield of her truck
And they were both out of luck
And everybody said it was so weird
Something nobody would have predicted
But we are all just tenants here
And that day that gal and that cow got
Evicted
No legal notice
Evicted
No posted warning
Evicted
Just a final summons
Evicted
And now we're mourning.
Don't mistake what I'm saying now
This isn't legal advice
But steering clear of falling trees and flying cows
Would be nice.
Evicted
No legal notice
Evicted
No posted warning
Evicted
Just a final summons
Evicted
Some fateful morning.
