Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake in the past of Chile
Earthquake in the Indonesia
Earthquake in the China
Earthquake is coming to America
Earthquakes are there in California
Earthquake warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is getting angry
And I asked Earth what have we done
She said we building 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 grandkids
They are in the rubble in Port au Prince
Earthquake, down there in Haiti
Earthquake in the past of Chile
Earthquake in the Indonesia
Earthquake in the China
Earthquake is coming to America
Earthquakes out there in California
Earthquake warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is getting angry
That's when the earth started talking rude (so 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 her who's next?
She said, those that's polluting the planet
They killing everything moving, 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 Indonesia
Earthquake in the China
Earthquake is coming to America
Earthquakes out there in California
Earthquake warn ya people in the city
That the Earth is getting angry
And as much as we take it for granted
We might not have no better lie in tonight
We be taking for granted
Our kids might get no ice-cream tonight
In this road we taking for granted
We might not kiss our loved ones tonight
If we want the Earth to be better, lets start spreading love
On the planet called Earth
Lets start spreading some goodness, on the planet called earth
Lets start spreading some kindness, oh yeah
Let's get rid of the weekenders
One love, one heart, one soul, and shaking every trembling of the earth.
