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
