shake the foundation
band of heathens, the
i went down to see my baby
she was working real late
i thought i could surprise her
but i'm always behind the eight
she was pouring highball sevens
as i looked across the room
she was giving out her number
gonna shake the foundation
gonna shake it to the ground
i went down to see a doctor
for this pain down in my chest
he said that he could help me
but i had to make a change
he said to put down all your sorrow
then you get back up again
gonna shake it to the ground
wrote a letter to the governor
but he was putting on a show
just kissing all the babies
you can build yourself a castle
with walls of solid stone
but it'll never do you no good
if there ain't nobody home
gonna shake it to the ground
