Lyrics

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

Written by: Lisa Yates

VERSE
I watch the news of war, sick and helpless at my core, gotta run into the bathroom naked feet on a cold floor,
I just lock the door and hide, I cant swallow no more lies, gettin hard to tell the bad guys from the good ones in disguise.


VERSE
Big Brother said there's weapons of the mass destruction kind, sent my man across the ocean, with no weapons there to find,
but some people there choose terror as a way to be set free, so my baby boy's left crying for a daddy I can't bring


CHORUS
While the hand that rocks his cradle cries "choose love not war"
Cause the hand that rockes his cradle knows each life should be adored.
For my baby's sake, for the human race I sing lullabies of change so the future in my cradle will learn a better way.


VERSE
Mother earth her anger's boilin from emissions she cant fight,
She quakes to try to wake us while we can still see daylight, we gotta change the way we live, smoggy days flourescent nights, cause the Master's plan for Earth was that She would live a fruitfull life


CHORUS
And the Hand that rocks the cradle must speak up for Mother Earth,
cause the hand that rocks the cradle knows just what a life is worth.
For the baby's sake, for the human race, sing lullabies of change, so the future in the cradle will seek a better way.


BRIDGE
We live lives of quiet desperation, cant be quiet anymore.
How much death will it take, how much truth can they fake, when we know whose future is at stake?

CHORUS
To the hand that rocks the cradle, speak so they can't ignore,
cause the hand that rokcs the cradle has power rich or poor.
For your baby's sake for the human race, sing lullabies of change, so the future in your cradle will choose a better way.

For the future in the cradle we've gotta teach a better way.
So the future in the cradle will choose to make a better day.

To the hand that rokcs the cradle, sing a lullaby of change
