And The Cradle Will Rock...

Ow! Oh yeah, get up

Ow!, Ow!, Ow!

Well, they say it's kinda frightnin'

How this younger generation swings

You know it's more than just some new sensation

Well, the kid is into losin' sleep

And he don't come home for half the week

You know it's more than just an aggravation

And the cradle will rock

Yes the cradle, cradle will rock

And I say rock on, uh, rock on

And when some local kid gets down

They try an' drum him outta town

They say, "Ya coulda least faked it, boy, fake it, boy"

At an early age he hits the street

Winds up tired with who he meets

An' he's unemployed, ow

And the cradle will rock, ow

And the cradle, the cradle will rock

An' I say rock on, oh say rock on

Have you seen Junior's grades?

And when some local kid gets down

They try an' drum him outta town

They say, "Ya could've least faked it boy, faked it, boy"

And so an early age he hits the street

An' winds up tired with who he meets

An' he's unemployed, his folks are overjoyed

And the cradle will rock

Yes the cradle, cradle will rock

I say rock on, hey, rock on

Rock on, rock on, rock on

This ain't never been new babe child, ow

Rock on, rock on, rock on
