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
Sooner or later
Everything must break
And the earth's gonna shake
I saw the birth of The Age Of Nefarious
And just how fooled everybody had been
I saw a whole lotta evil
And a whole lotta greed
I saw the sociopaths in the communion halls
All the way up to the presidents
There'll be a hostile takeover
And the earth's gonna shake
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
Did I just feel the ground vibrate?
Did I hear a voice that yelled
For peace, love and other out-of-date clichés
Right when I was giving in
When all hope seemed gone
There was a flash of lightning
Penetrating my skull
It took me back to that warm summers night
With Johanna so freely swimming
I see her now from time to time
She's getting older now
Just like me and you
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
