Shook Twins - Shake lyrics

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
