And The Cradle Will Rock... lyrics
by Van Halen
OwOh yeah, get upOw! (Yeah)Ow! Ow!Well, they say it's kinda frightnin'How this younger generation swingsYou know it's more than just some new sensationWell, the kid is into losin' sleepAnd he don't come home for half the weekYou know it's more than just an aggravationAnd the cradle will rockYes the cradle, cradle will rockAnd I say rock on. Uh! Rock onAnd when some local kid gets downThey try an' drum him outta townThey say, "Ya coulda least faked it, boy"Fake it, boy (Ooh, stranger, boy)At an early age he hits the streetWinds up tired with who he meetsAn' he's unemployed (Unemployed?) Ow!And the cradle will rock. Ow!And the cradle, the cradle will rockAn' I say rock on. Oh, say, rock on(Guitar Solo)Have you seen Junior's grades?OohOw!And when some local kid gets downThey try an' drum him outta townThey say, "Ya could've least faked it, boy. Faked it, boy"And so an early age he hits the street'N winds up tired with who he meetsAn' he's unemployed. His folks are overjoyedAnd the cradle will rockYes the cradle, cradle will rockI say rock on. Hey! Rock onRock on. Rock on. Rock onThis ain't never been new, babe, child. Ow!Rock on, wow! I said...Rock on. Rock on. Oh, oh, ohRock on. Oh, ow, ah, ah, ahRock on. Rock on. Rock on
