Rock a bye baby
|
On the tree top
|
When the wind blows
|
The cradle will rock
|
Oh babe, hate to see you fall that way
|
Better speak to the powers that be today
|
Hey Joe, where you goin'
|
With that gun in your hand?
|
You can take your revenge
|
But you'll still feel bad
|
There must be more to life than lucky strikes
|
And some unlucky ones
|
And folded flags and pipes
|
And drums
|
|
I stood in the wings with you
|
Our lives in the hands of a second-rate actor
|
Holding the high ground
|
Of some old stage
|
Oh babe, how do these jaded stars get so far away
|
Will they catch what the moral had to say
|
|
Hey Joe, where you goin'
|
With that dogma in your head?
|
You can prove your point
|
But your kids will still be dead
|
Bring down the curtain
|
This soap opera must surely close
|
Before the cold wind blows
|
|
Hey Joe, where you going
|
With that gun in your hand
|
You can take your revenge
|
But you'll still feel bad
|
Bring down the curtain
|
This show must close
|
Before the cold wind blows
|
|
So rock a bye baby
|
On the tree top
|
When the wind blows
|
The cradle will rock
|
There must be more to life than lucky strikes
|
And some unlucky ones
|
And folded flags and pipes
|
And drums
|
