I've seen my people

Standing on the shore

I've seen the big chief there

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

And I ask my papa

When will it roll by



Oh we're standing

On the edge of the world

Ooh

Oh we're standing

Standing out of here

On the edge of the world

Ooh



Come on brother

We're gonna shake this town

Come on sister

We're gonna shake this town

Come on children

Children come on

We're 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 no

Out here on my land

We're at the mercy mercy

By the government man

And then I followed you

Followed you followed you

We did pray

How can you promise me

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

Oh we're standing

Standing out of here

On the edge of the world



Come on brother

Brother brother

We're gonna shake this town

Alright

Come on sister

Sister come on

We're gonna shake this town

Singing alright out loud

Come on children

Children come on

We're gonna shake this town

Come on brother brother

We're gonna shake this town

Come on sister sister

We're gonna shake this town

Shake this town

Come on children children children

We're gonna shake this town



Oh

We're standing

Standing

Standing

On the edge of the world

Oh

Oh we're standing

Standing out of here

On the edge of the world



That's the story

That's the story

Small town life

Small town life

And that's the story

And that's the story

Of the life

Of the life

And that's the story

And that's the story

Small town life

Small town life

That's the story

We're gonna shake this town

Small town life

Small town life
