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
