Story Behind The Song

I'd been trying to write a song about America for some time. Then I came up with this great guitar rif and the hook "world shaker" (from my favorite movie (Cool Hand Luke) fit the music like a glove. I was going for a Lenny Kravitz feel. (I got pretty close)

Song Description

World Shaker is a metaphor comparing the U.S. to a beautiful, wild woman who does'nt take any crap off anyone.

Lyrics

WORLD SHAKER
© 2003 words & music by: Chris Bennett

Your head is ringing your body feels tired
you can?t remember who lit your fire
you?ve gotta burn you?ve gotta fly or you will die
cause you?re a world shaking woman
I?m a world shaking guy

CHORUS
world shaker world shaker
you?ve got style you?ve got class you?ve got moves
and you don?t give a damn what they say about you
no one could ever say it?s not true
you?re a world shaking woman red white and blue

you?ve got a monkey on your back
you shake him loose but he?ll be back
it?s never easy when you?re always on top
you?re a world shaking baby and you?re never gonna stop

CHORUS

you?re always thinking one step ahead
your eyes are blue your eyes are red
it?s only money but it feels so good
you?re not a greedy person you?re just misunderstood

CHORUS

your friends all tell you you?d better settle down
but they?re just jealous cause you own this town
it?s only time and you can?t get enough
cause you?re a world shaking woman
and you like to play rough

CHORUS

world shaker
world shaker
world shaker
world shaker
