Shake This Town

I see the people standing on the shore

I see the big chief standing on the shore

I ask my mama what they're crying for



I saw a black cloud hanging in the sky

I saw a big black cloud hanging in the sky

I ask my papa when will it roll by



Oh we're standing on the edge of the world

Oh we're standing out here

On the edge of the world



Chorus:

Come on brother we gonna shake this town

Come on sister we gonna shake this town

Come on children we gonna shake this town

Down to the ground



Can't draw no water no more

From the drinking well

Can't grow no corn no more out here on my land

We're at the mercy of the government man



Then i followed you followed you we did pray

How can you promise me promise me

Come what may

Where you gonna turn to on a judgement day



Oh we're standing on the edge of the world

Oh we're standing out here

On the edge of the world



Chorus



That's the story
