Earthquake
Yeah, aye
Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake, in the past of Chile
Earthquake, in the hand Indonesia
Earthquake, in the events of China
Earthquake, is comin' to America
Earthquakes are there in California
Earthquake, warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is gettin' angry
I asked Earth what have we done
She said we buildin' too much bombs
So there's too many sons that won't see their father
Too many daughters that won't see their mother
Too many grandmas that won't see their grand-kids
'Cause they are in the rubble in Port Au Prince
Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake, in the past of Chile
Earthquake, in the hand Indonesia
Earthquake, in the events of China
Earthquake, is comin' to America
Earthquakes are there in California
Earthquake, warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is gettin' angry
That's when the earth started talkin' rude
Say she's thirteen, she's a prostitute
I tried to beg for the young girl's life
But when the earthquake came, it took her to the other side
Then I asked the Earth, who's next?
She said, those that's polluting the planet
They killin' everything, movin' flowers and abusing mankind
And the only thing left is Armageddon
Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake, in the past of Chile
Earthquake, in the hand Indonesia
Earthquake, in the events of China
Earthquake, is comin' to America
Earthquakes are there in California
Earthquake, warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is gettin' angry
And as much as we take it for granted
We might not have no bed to lie in tonight, whoa, aye
And this birth, yes, we take it for granted
Our kids might get no ice-cream tonight, whoa, aye
And this birth, yes, we take it for granted
We might not kiss our loved ones tonight
And if we want the Earth to be better
Let's start spreadin' some love on the planet called Earth
Let's start spreadin' some goodness on the planet called Earth
Let's start spreadin' some kindness, yeah, aye
Let's get rid of the weekenders, whoa, aye
One love, one heart, one soul
(Daddy, what's an earthquake?)
The shakin' and the tremblin' of the earth
My generation
The only way I feel I can help
Is if I become the President of my country
Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake, in the past of Chile
Earthquake, in the hand Indonesia
Earthquake, in the events of China
Earthquake, is comin' to America
Earthquakes are there in California
Earthquake, warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is gettin' angry
I asked Earth what have we done
She said we buildin' too much bombs
So there's too many sons that won't see their father
Too many daughters that won't see their mother
Too many grandmas that won't see their grand-kids
'Cause they are in the rubble in Port Au Prince
Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake, in the past of Chile
Earthquake, in the hand Indonesia
Earthquake, in the events of China
Earthquake, is comin' to America
Earthquakes are there in California
Earthquake, warn ya people in the city
