Which can be violent enough to destroy multiple building
And kill thousand of people
Those varieties of the shaking
Can be belly felt or violent enough to those people around

Let's me the earthquake

So, on iTunes there is a lyrics tab under the display that shows what the lyrics to a song are (sometimes). And the lyrics for Earthquake must have been put on some kind of auto-generate setting, because it seems like Siri was having a hard time interpreting Sam’s English accent 😂:
