Living in a Floodplain – (Lyrics and Instrumental Arrangement – Steve Brewer; melody – Sydney Robin)

A millionaire’s Malibu mansion
Just went up in flames. 
He’s mad as hell, has a story to tell, looking
For somebody else to blame
Then he slaps away the hand of a poor old man
Who lost his trailer in a pouring rain.
Well, I’m sorry for your loss
But you gotta pay the cost  
For living in that floodplain.

Well, a millionaire’s beachfront cottage
Washed away in a hurricane.
He takes another turn, has money to burn;
Rebuilds it in the same damn way.
But the man whose Chevy’s underwater off the levee 
Could afford no other place to stay.
Well I’m sorry to say you gotta move away;
Those casinos are here to stay.

A millionaire’s Malibu mansion 
just went up in flames.
See her tears of pain as she complains
That Cal Fire is to blame.
But she’s got no time for other folks’ crying; 
they’ve only themselves to blame. 
I’m sorry for their loss but you gotta pay the cost
for living in that floodplain.
I’m sorry for your loss but you gotta pay the cost
for living in that floodplain.
