[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, shoot)
(Ooh, ooh, shoot)
[Chorus]
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
[Verse]
And youth find time on their own (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Just by the answer, the world is at ransom
I know that I should be feelin' alone (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
But the weight on my shoulders
Makes me feel right at home
[Chorus]
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
[Refrain]
Men make plans for the sky (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
The sky's on the pavement
The universe is runnin' dry (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Will your eye take no mind
For the ones that are coming
Are of another kind
[Chorus]
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
[Bridge]
(Ooh, ooh, shoot)
(Ooh, ooh, shoot)
And youth find time on their own (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Just by the answer, the world is at ransom, I know (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
[Chorus]
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
[Refrain]
And men make plans for the sky (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
The sky's on the pavement
The universe is runnin' dry (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Will your eye take no mind
For the ones that are coming
Are of another kind
[Chorus]
And the hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Is setting all the tables
In the other world
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh, shoot)
(Ooh, ooh, shoot)
Don't you know?
The hand that rocks the cradle (Ooh)
