| A man of solid oak and his fine new bride
|
| Found themselves a farm by the river side
|
| Everything has changed yeah it’s all come undone
|
| All they have now are their hand and the light from the sun
|
| The wind it came for days and days
|
| And the earth did try to shake away our kind
|
| But they held on tight and a few survived
|
| And they light their fires on the cold, cold, cold, cold night
|
| But the earth is still tryin to shake em down
|
| Honey you go build a bonfire and I’ll can the farm
|
| We could live this way for a long long long long time
|
| Or till the earth stops tryin to shake us down
|
| Then a man that came from oil and with no knowledge
|
| Of how to grow the things that we need to live
|
| Crept up the river bank from the other side
|
| Stole everything they’ve grown by the dim moonlight
|
| When morning came the bride she wept
|
| The man faced the empty farm and spit on theft
|
| He said boy you better run cause the earth decides
|
| And people made of greed no they don’t survive
|
| Cause the earth is gonna shake the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down
|
| Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down
|
| What are you gonna do when the truth time comes
|
| And you can not hide all the things that you have done
|
| What are you gonna say when they ask you why
|
| You chose to live this way in your short short time
|
| Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down
|
| Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down
|
| What are you gonna do when the truth time comes
|
| And you can not hide all the things that you have done
|
| What are you gonna say when they ask you why
|
| You chose to live this way in your short short time
|
| Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down
|
| Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down
|
| Earth is gonna shake, yeah the earth is gonna shake
|
| The earth is gonna shake you down |
