Lyrics
Unknown Legend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin' how this younger generationswings.
You know, it's more than just some new sensation.
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep and he don't come home forhalf the week.
You know, it's more than just an aggravation.
And the cradle will rock.
Yes, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out oftown.
They say, "You coulda least faked it, boy." *faked it boy*
At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who hemeets,
and he's unemployed. *unemployed*
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
Have you seen Junior's grades?
And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out oftown.
They say, "You coulda least faked it, boy."
At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who hemeets,
and he's unemployed. His folks are overjoyed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!
