Mr. Parr - It's An Earthquake Song lyrics

It's an earthquake it's an earthquake

It's an earthquake
Yeah, way down in the crust
When the rock is hot stress is building up
It's an earthquake
How do the plates move, change, and mold?

It's an earthquake
Stresses, compression, squeeze
Tension is pulling, see
Side to side is shearing it's an earthquake
Yeah, rock can bend, stretch, break, and fold

If stress builds up then
There is a fault now if there's compression
Reversе fault how pulling occurs
Normal will appear if rock will slide on
A strike slip shеars

Pulling, push, or slide focus deep inside
Epicenter up high
Yeah, the moving plates go by

It's an earthquake the first wave will be P
Compress expanding see s-wave secondary
It's an earthquake
They're moving side to side, oh well, oh

It's an earthquake
Yeah, when they reach the top
The waves transform a lot
Seems like it never stops becomes surface
Buildings are over now the end

If stress builds up then
There is a fault now if there's compression
Reverse fault how pulling occurs
Normal will appear if rock will slide on
A strike slip shears

Pulling, push, or slide
(changes volume and shape too)
Focus deep inside epicenter up high
(yeah, most damage you know)
Yeah, the moving plates go by

It's an earthquake feel the rumbling
Building crumbling it's an earthquake
You're trying to hold on it's an earthquake
Richter scale for size seismograph goes high
It's an earthquake
Mercalli effects on structures and more

It's an earthquake it's an earthquake

Yeah, they will pull or push or slide
(changes volume and shape too)
Focus deep inside
You know the epicenter is up high
(yeah, most damage you know)
Yeah, the moving plates go by

It's an earthquake it's an earthquake
It's an earthquake it's an earthquake
It's an earthquake
