[Verse 1]
I heard my mother cryin' from a closed bathroom
While my father was readin' the paper
Saw your sister naked by the lake swimmin' in the moonlight
Saw my friends revoltin' so damn hard
Not knowin' what to do with their lives
Some of them went crazy
Some of them died
[Chorus]
Sooner or later
Everything must break
And the Earth's gonna shake
[Verse 2]
From the birth on the age of the fiery Earths
And just to fool everybody I think
I saw a whole lotta evil
And a whole lotta greed
I saw the social pacts in the communion halls
All the way up to the presidents
There'll be a hostile takeover
And the Earth's gonna shake
[Chorus]
Whole lotta evil
And a whole lotta hate
And the Earth's gonna shake
Whole lotta evil
And a whole lotta hate
And the Earth's gonna shake
[Verse 3]
Did I just feel the ground vibrate
Then hear a voice that yelled
For peace
Love
Not a holiday to be shameless
Right when I was givin' in
When all hope seemed gone
There was a flash
Of lightnin'
Penetratin' my skull
It took me back to that warm summer's night
With your household freely swimmin'
I see her now from time to time
She's getting older now
Just like me and you
Whoa, oh oh
[Chorus]
Sooner or later
Everything must break
And the Earth's gonna shake
There'll be a whole lotta lovin'
And a whole lotta cake
And the Earth's gonna shake
The Earth's gonna change
Any of these days
