Lyrics
"EARTHQUAKE"
I"ve been down
DD down in the ground and I found
I've been wanderin' around without hearin' the sound
Of an Earthquake shakin'
And the Earth's been breakin'
And I know
When It hits you there's no where to go
Cause we're all in first row
And it's ready to blow
Well I ain't no faker
Gonna' meet your Maker
It's a sign
It's a sign of the times and you'll find
A disaster combined with the Flu Of The Swine
Will erase our nation
Will it be damnation?
Well in the end
When the King and His armies descend
We could hardly pretend to make fake our amends
So I tell my story
And I seek no glory
Lookout!
It shook my tears a seismological way
You're all gonna' be findin' out
Just what it's all about
So help me through this night
I"ve been down
DD down in the ground and I found
I've been wanderin' around without hearin' the sound
Of an Earthquake shakin'
And the Earth's been breakin'
So Lookout!
It shook my tears a seismological way
No doubt
Turns days to years
Just watch my hair turn gray
